Stable internet access in the capital’s schools has a positive impact on students’ academic performance and engagement. This is evidenced by a study conducted by the research company Civitta on behalf of the Kyiv City State Administration.
Analysts recorded that schools with reliable Wi-Fi show higher attendance, better grades, and greater motivation among pupils. According to the survey, 76% of students believe that internet access makes learning more interesting, more than 70% report increased engagement, while 23% said that the lack of connectivity reduces their interest in classes.
The best results are observed in schools where connection speed exceeds 100 Mbps. In such schools, teachers face fewer technical difficulties, and parents are more actively involved in the educational process.
The research highlighted that stable Wi-Fi enables access to modern teaching methods — from flipped classrooms and blended learning to adaptive platforms and project-based work. This fosters critical thinking and students’ independence. Internet access also opens opportunities to join international educational programs, take part in virtual excursions, and benefit from personalized learning.
According to the Kyiv City State Administration, the next steps include monitoring school networks, enhancing teachers’ digital literacy, and creating a platform for sharing experiences among schools. The study is also planned to be extended to other regions of Ukraine to develop systemic recommendations for national education policy.
The survey covered over 5,000 respondents, including students, parents, and teachers. The results combined sociological data with an analysis of performance in mathematics and Ukrainian language based on PISA standards.
