Abstract: Computer literacy is considered to be one of the main driving forces in transition to the information society, for that reason it is in the focus of national education policies in all European countries. Recent research in Slovenia points two main issues influence computer literacy of Slovenian students – penetration of IT, i.e. personal computers and Internet on the one hand and secondary school informatics courses on the other hand. After mid nineties there were some positive changes in both areas, which was the reason for a survey in which we explored the computer literacy of students from two perspectives – as a comparison of the results obtained between 2001 and 1999 and as a comparison of the result, obtained from two Universities and a college from three different Slovenian regions.
