The platform’s success is due to its comprehensive ecosystem. It includes an online platform with approximately three million registered users. It offers 710 educational products in seven formats, including educational series, simulators, tests, and “Skill Bytes.” Importantly, the content is inclusive, with subtitles, sign language translation, and accessibility settings. The course completion rate is 75%, confirming the relevance of the educational products.
The offline component of the project includes a network of 5,000 digital education hubs. These spaces are located in libraries, schools, administrative service centers, and universities throughout the country. Over three years, nearly 40,000 Ukrainians have studied at these hubs with the support of facilitators. In addition, Diya.Osvita has introduced IT studios for schools—a modern computer science module that is already used by more than 35% of schools in Ukraine. According to teachers, IT studio materials replace textbooks by 70–100%, which is especially relevant in the context of distance learning.
