Abstract: This paper presents findings based on the IEA-study ICILS 2013 (International Computer and Information Literacy Study, 2010-2014) which investigates the computer and information literacy (CIL) of secondary school students in 21 countries. Students’ CIL is measured by computer-based tests in live-software environments. In addition, representative data of contexts in which students develop CIL are gathered by student, teacher and school questionnaires. By means of multilevel path analyses, this contribution focuses on teacher- and school-related factors contributing to students’ acquisition of CIL. For a selection of high performing countries findings reveal differences and similarities in supporting and hindering factors such as school leadership, teachers’ professional development and appropriateness of IT-equipment. Finally, data about the national contexts are applied to frame the findings and to discuss how schools can support students’ skills to participate in the 21st century.
