There are 3 clusters of schools:
Type 1: Highly digitally equipped schools, characterized by relatively high equipment levels, fast broadband and relatively high connectedness
Type 2: Partially digitally equipped schools, with lower than type 1 equipment levels, slow (less than 10mbps) or no broadband, and some connectedness
Type 3: As type 2 but with no connectedness
In Turkey at grade 8 there are no students in type 1 schools and more in type 3 than other countries. At other grades Turkey is also below the EU mean.
