Nearly 6,000 students from grades 9 and 12 will be able to check their digital skills and receive official confirmation of their level as part of the national assessment on November 25, 2026. According to the Ministry of Education and Research (MEC), the test will be held online at test centres.

What does this mean for you?

Participating students will be able to find out how well they have mastered digital skills and receive official confirmation of their level, according to the MEC. The assessment is taken online, but participation is organised at test centres.

Centre staff will explain to students how to access the testing platform. They will also outline the steps participants need to follow on the day of the assessment.

How were participants selected?

Participants come from 2 groups: students who registered voluntarily and students selected for the national sample. Students registered on their own initiative by submitting an application to their educational institution.

The National Agency for Curriculum and Assessment (ANCE) selected the sample participants according to the methodology for forming the sample. The number of students selected is equal for the 2 grades concerned.

How will the centres be organised?

The test centres will be designated by the Territorial Education Agencies and local specialised bodies in the field of education. The choice of centres will depend on the number of participants from each institution.

Administrators and test supervisors will be trained 1 week before the assessment. The MEC and ANCE are responsible for organising the test.

What sessions have taken place so far?

The assessment on November 25, 2026, will be the third session since the national digital skills test was launched in 2025. Approximately 4,500 students took part in the sessions in November 2025 and May 2026 combined.
