The proportion of students with digital competence levels A (Proficient) and B (Above Basic) rose by 38%, from 27% to 65%. Among nurses, digital competence improved by 10%, with the proportion of those at levels A and B increasing by 14%, from 57% to 71%. Additionally, 93% of students and 94% of nurses expressed satisfaction with the content of the new curricula.
