The e-education revolution in Estonia effectively uses modern digital technology in learning and teaching, improving the digital skills of the entire nation. Numerous smart solutions are used across all levels of the education system: databases, digital textbooks, e-learning materials, digital class diary, assessments, and various applications and programs. Schools use specially designed apps to enable collaboration between parents, teachers, and students.

Estonia also stands out in the number of students pursuing ICT studies — more than twice the average in other OECD countries.
