The purpose of the paper is to discuss and review some previous research studies on development of the information society and its impact on educational outputs/outcomes. In addition, a definition, measurements and the empirical application of the efficiency and effectiveness of the information society at the regional (NUTS 2) level in the EU are considered (based on 2007–2011 average data). The research findings suggest that a wide range of NUTS 2 regions is characterized by a relatively low efficiency rate of transforming information society progress into educational outputs/outcomes, particularly in Eastern and Southern Europe.
