Digital Transformation in Pre-University Education: Bridging or Widening Gaps

Digital tools in pre-university education offer an avenue to reduce educational disparities, but without thoughtful implementation they risk deepening existing divides. Success factors include national e-learning strategies, teacher capacity building, equitable access to infrastructure, and data-driven monitoring of learning outcomes. Integrating adaptive learning and early AI-assisted support must be coupled with safeguards against unequal access, ensuring that remote or disadvantaged students benefit equally. Strategic partnerships can accelerate deployment while localizing solutions to fit regional languages and cultural contexts.
