53 the teachers and the administrative staff in the educational institutions have been trained. In addition, 150 teachers attended training on the IT security (1.5 %). The level of the development of the digital materials for teaching and learning is insufficient (didactic software, e-books, e-learning, etc.). There is an evident deficiency of the primary and secondary education, which, either due to the late introduction of the information technology subjects, or the content of the subjects per se, pays little attention to the importance of the digital competences in the information society, despite the fact that 90% of job positions require workforce with acquired digital skills. This situation is further complicated by the fact that the educational system lacks educated staff for teaching IT-related courses. Number of the graduates in ICT-related study programs is at the low level.

Providing educational institutions with the computer equipment must be a continuous process in order to provide enough equipment for the teaching performance and improve the computerstudent proportion. In addition to training teachers to use the information technology at a basic level, it is of particular importance to train them to apply the ICT in the teaching process itself, so the students can benefit more from the Internet and the technologies as such. Consequently, it is necessary to further promote the web portal for teachers. It is also necessary to provide didactic software that will enable better and more effective application of the ICT in the teaching process. However, the e-education process must take into account students as well, so it is necessary to establish a suitable portal for students, which would accompany the curriculum, enable some kind of knowledge evaluation and offer extra curricular activites aimed at general education such as culture, sport, music, film and such. It is important to establish a system of distance learning and upgrade the curriculum with the aim of introducing larger number of the IT subjects, due to the current state of late introduction of the information technology in the primary education and substantial lack of a mid-level education, which can, with a change in the concept, create useful experts
