Digital Transformation and Its Implications on Educational Quality: An Empirical Analysis Within the European Union Context
Journal Title: Opportunities and Challenges in Sustainability - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
In the face of profound digital transformations, the societal and economic landscape has undergone significant shifts, notably impacting the educational sector across European Union (EU) member states. Through the employment of robust regression models, employing both Huber and biweight iterations, data spanning 1995-2021 were analyzed. The focus was on the relationship between the Education Index (EI) (a component of the Human Development Index (HDI)) and the Global Innovation Index (GINNOV). Results from this analysis suggest that an increase in internet usage, global innovation levels, and poverty alleviation measures have been found to positively influence the EI. Concurrently, positive correlations between internet usage, the contribution of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector to GDP, employment rates, and the EI on global innovation levels were observed. Interestingly, adverse correlations were detected between household internet access and the ICT sector's GDP contribution to the EI, and between internet access and high-speed internet coverage with global innovation. Such findings underline the need for strategic interventions within the education sector, which are elaborated upon in the article.
