ABSTRACT

In order to grasp the actual situation of the process of educational informatization in Europe, the European Commission conducted surveys on ISCED schools at all levels in EU countries in 2013 and 2019. Based on the analysis of three aspects in the second round of school survey report in 2019 (acquisition of digital technology in EU schools, use of digital technology, digital policies, strategies and opinions of schools, etc.), the article finds that the construction of European education informatization is currently. This stage is facing challenges in three aspects: the unbalanced process of education informatization, the poor digital learning environment, and the digital capabilities of teachers and students lagging behind the requirements of the times. He also pointed out that in order to promote the development of the overall level of European education informatization, the three levels of the EU, member states, and schools need to work together to create the best environment for teachers, students, and the whole society to use digital technology safely and equally.
