DigiCLASS

DigiCLASS (Digital Competence Levels Assessment in School Education) is an Erasmus+ forward looking project focused on improving the way digital skills are assessed in schools across Europe. 

The project adapts and expands the proven Pix platform, built on the European DigComp framework and already used by millions of students in France and Belgium.

Running from 2026 to 2028, DigiCLASS brings together partners from 6 European countries to develop a shared, scalable, and practical model for assessing digital competences for students aged 12–19.

DigiCLASS will engage approximately 60 schools, 4,500 students, and 150 teachers in Austria, Italy, and the Aragon region in Spain to build a shared approach on digital skills assessment. Through collaboration and communities of practice, the project will help primary and secondary schools prepare students for the digital future.

Built on the European DigComp framework, Pix is an adaptive and engaging platform that assesses digital skills across a wide range of topics and proficiency levels. 

Since its rollout in all general and TVET secondary schools in France in 2019, it has become the official platform for digital skills assessment and certification in the country, assessing over 4.5 million pupils annually and issuing 1.6 million certifications each year. Pix is also largely used in Belgium, in cooperation with Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, in the framework of education and training public policies. The platform also has users at smaller scales in more than 40 countries worldwide. 

The project is structured around six work packages covering needs analysis and mapping of digital skills in the participating countries, adaptation of the Pix content, piloting in schools, impact assessment, and dissemination. Through this collaborative approach, DigiCLASS seeks to create a shared, scalable, and practical European model for digital skills assessment in primary and secondary education.

Approximately 60 schools, in Austria, Italy and the Aragon region, will participate in DigiCLASS, reaching a total of 4 500 students throughout the project’s duration. 

150 teachers will be trained in the use of the Pix platform, while the creation of 3 national and a European communities of practice will allow for the exchange of experience around the assessment of digital skills and competences of primary and secondary education students.
