According to a survey conducted in Japan from July to September 2022, around 31 percent of students aged nine to 12 years used digital gadgets almost every day at their primary schools. On the other hand, about 13 percent of high school students aged 16 to 18 years never used digital devices in classes.

Sample size:
9 to 12 years (fourth to sixth grade in primary schools) n=3,664
13 to 15 years (seventh to ninth grade in lower secondary schools) n=2,922
16 to 18 years (10th to 12th grade in upper secondary schools) n= 2,096
The exceeding or missing percentage points to 100 percent are probably due to rounding.
