Almost 65 thousand Ukrainians passed the National Media Literacy Test 2026 this year. In total, more than 93,5% of participants demonstrated a high or very high level.
The testing ran from 26 to 30 October on the Diia.Business platform. This was announced by the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine on Facebook.
What is the level of media literacy among Ukrainians
The most active regions in joining the test were Lviv, Poltava, Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions, as well as Kyiv.
Among the participants are over 22,7 thousand civil servants, 11,5 thousand educators, and 10 thousand pupils and students.
The main motivation was the desire to check one's knowledge and learn something new. The test results confirm the importance of further developing media, digital, and AI literacy in Ukraine.
The results are as follows:
the highest level “Guru” was achieved by 52 175 people, i.e. 80,4%;
the level “Almost Guru” — 8 527 people, i.e. 13,1%;
the level “Beginner” — 3 012 people, i.e. 4,6%;
the level “Novice” — 1 202 people, i.e. 1,9%.
The ability to distinguish facts from fakes, recognize manipulation, and verify sources helps maintain independence in one's judgments. In the conditions of Russia's war against Ukraine, this is especially important: the enemy uses disinformation to sow panic, divide society, and undermine trust among people.
— said Tetiana Berezhna, head of the Ministry of Culture.
