The report compares how OECD countries and partner systems provide and govern digital education. It distinguishes digitisation—adding technology to existing processes—from transformation that redesigns management, teaching, learning, and assessment to improve effectiveness and equity.
Key ideas
A digital ecosystem includes infrastructure and connectivity, student-information and management systems, platforms and resources, assessment tools, data standards, human capabilities, institutions, and governance arrangements. Many systems provide basic devices and services, yet fragmented tools, limited interoperability, uneven access, weak evidence about use, and insufficient teacher capacity prevent coherent transformation. The report recommends longitudinal information systems, common standards, privacy and security safeguards, sustainable procurement, support for open and accessible resources, research and development, and mechanisms that involve educators. Its OECD–Education International guidance on AI emphasizes dialogue, transparency, professional agency, equitable access, quality assurance, and protection from bias or misuse.
Why it matters
Technology should augment teachers and learners rather than determine educational goals. System-level governance must balance innovation with rights, public values, resilience, and evidence about actual educational benefit.
