This chart is really only meaningful when you run it in a slide show.The best in terms of their ICT skills are 36-40!
Broadly speaking African students require more training (expected due to less technology generally used in schools in Africa). Second is UK and Ireland as most training required. Europe seems to be the best, followed by Far East (although it is a small sample).Two students from India are not shown in the results (not a representative sample) and America has only 3 students as well, so results should not be taken as representative.
