ICILS stands for International Computer and Information Literacy Study. It is an international assessment conducted by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) that measures students' computer and information literacy skills.
Think of ICILS as a global competition where students from different countries showcase their computer and information literacy skills. Just like how athletes compete in sports events representing their countries, students participate in ICILS representing their nations' educational systems.
