I have a penpal in Ukraine, Yara. We connected as the war started because she posted on Twitter (X) That's how I follow what's happening. Ukrainians are recognising that world support is waning. Inevitably the catastrophic situation in Palestine/Israel captures attention. But Ukraine is still under attack and ordinary people still have to cope with fear and loss.

I'm hoping anyone interested can clink on this link. The site buymeacoffee doesn't require a donation that is voluntary. Yara writes these eloquent letters to not only raise awareness of ongoing war but to highlight the beauty and culture of Ukraine.

Is student digital competence shaped by schools or individual factors?

CEDEFOP examines whether digital competences of students vary more at the country, regional, school or individual level and what factors are associated with differences in competences at each level. The results show substantial variance at the school level but student digital competences are associated with other student-related factors, particularly digital infrastructure, pedagogy and assessments, and with school averages of these factors.
