Abstract: It is time when it is conceptually necessary to replace the growth of the economy with the growth of well-being. We mean the suppression of poverty, the careful use of natural resources, but also the effective use of human labour and time. The growth of society's well-being requires the acquisition of skills and the development of the ability to learn and innovate. Increasing literacy, skills, and key competences requires a constant need for education, which naturally leads to lifelong learning. The paper deals with the perception of the use of digital education to accelerate the flow of knowledge within the framework of institutional growth and innovation development in Slovakia. The work evaluates the results of a survey focused on the use of digital education. The outcomes point to the advantages and disadvantages of digital education in the process of building knowledge and monitoring the clusters of information flows in digital education in Slovakia. Digital education is beneficial and necessary for education, but its effectiveness is conditioned by the professional approach of teachers, who would be able to evaluate the benefits of digital education within the flow of information for student education, which is equally conditioned by student activity.
