Abstract:
Digital transformation of the educational landscape raises the issue of equal opportunities in education for all. National and international authorities work together on a strategy for the education system that combines equal opportunities and digitalization. Digitalization should not be seen as an end in itself. Rather, the concrete measures must be analyzed by their contribution to equal opportunities in education. This article is aimed at analyzing education digitalization indicators as well as other indicators of accessibility of education and digital key performance indicators from the point of their role in determining educational equity in Ukraine. The analytical tool of the principal component method was used. The main finding of the analysis is that the provision of households with fixed Internet and the availability of computers connected to the Internet in schools are the most important factors of educational equity in Ukraine. This conclusion can be used in developing state digital and education policy in Ukraine.
