With the further development of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, Internet, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, virtual immersion and other technologies are integrating into the education system at an unprecedented speed, profoundly changing the pattern and future of global basic education. Digital education, as the core engine driving the high-quality development of basic education, provides new significant opportunities for innovative paths, reshaping forms, and high-quality development of basic education. Looking at the world, countries are planning and actively promoting the digital transformation of basic education in the new track of digital education. Develop a forward-looking strategy and plan a vision for digital education. Digital education encompasses comprehensive innovations in concepts, systems, models, content, and governance. High level layout and strategic planning and deployment of digital education are the main measures taken by world education powers to develop high-quality education according to local conditions. UNESCO continues to promote the digital transformation of education and has released a series of development strategies for digital education, such as "Digital Transformation of Education: School Connectivity, Student Empowerment", "Rethinking Our Future Together: A New Social Contract for Education", "Technology in Education: Who Controls", etc., which have pointed out the direction for the digital transformation of world education. From 1996 to 2024, the United States launched five rounds of the National Education Technology Program, which proposed core visions such as fair application, collaborative leadership, and procedural justice, calling for the implementation of educational technology programs to enable learners' learning to no longer be limited by time, place, and form. At the same time, countries around the world are actively building a digital education standard system to provide a basis for accurate profiling and scientific analysis of digital education. For example, the "Educational Technology: Exploring the Digital Maturity of Schools" report released by the UK in 2022 proposes an indicator system for the digital maturity of schools from three perspectives: technology, capability, and strategy. Similarly, in 2024, the United States released the "Digital Equity Framework," which includes multiple key areas focused on different aspects of digital equity in K-12 education. Increasing digital investment and creating an intelligent learning environment with digital infrastructure is a necessary condition to support the smooth operation of digital education and a key link in promoting digital education. In recent years, countries have generally increased their investment in digital education, committed to creating a more intelligent and humanized learning environment. Overall, the strategic direction of digital investment in various countries is mainly reflected in two aspects. The first is to improve the universality of Internet connection and the accessibility of digital tools. In 2021, the European Union proposed the "Connect European Facilities Plan" and approved 2 billion euros for digital projects to deploy secure, reliable, and sustainable digital networks and 5G systems throughout the EU. The British government has set the goal of "achieving all fiber optic connectivity across the UK by 2033", accelerating the full promotion of fiber optic Internet connectivity to all schools in the UK. In 2020, the Singapore government allocated SGD 75 million to launch the National Digital Literacy Programme, which aims to provide personal computers to all secondary school students by 2028. The second is to establish an interconnected and application-oriented education resource public service platform. Various states in the United States are committed to building open education resource platforms, among which Michigan's "Public Open Education Resource Platform" and California's "K-12 Digital Textbook Platform" provide digital textbooks for various grades and subjects in the basic education stage of school districts, providing convenient ways for students to access learning resources. Germany launched the construction of the "National Education Digital Platform" in 2021, aiming to form a nationwide system that can connect with Europe, and achieve full coverage of educational resources from primary and secondary schools to universities, as well as vocational education and continuing education. The key to innovative application scenarios and building an ecological digital education for the future of education is application. Looking at the world, multiple countries are exploring the implementation of digital literacy in curriculum teaching, using digital technology to transform teaching methods, conducting personalized evaluations, and achieving intelligent management. Firstly, countries are integrating digital literacy into curriculum standards and subject teaching. Germany has included artificial intelligence education courses in the curriculum of primary and secondary schools, and requires all subject teaching in primary and secondary schools to focus on digital literacy. France has specifically established a course on "Digital Science and Technology" in its national curriculum plan, which includes digital skills, the use and problem-solving of digital tools, and the rational use of media and information, aiming to cultivate students' digital literacy, computational thinking, and creativity. Secondly, artificial intelligence, big data analysis, virtual reality, augmented reality, and head mounted devices are widely used in education and teaching, creating new learning scenarios with digital technology. For example, South Korean primary and secondary schools use Edutech tools to enhance personalized learning, and improve students' digital literacy through the use of international joint English courses, metadata platforms, and artificial intelligence tools. The Singapore Ministry of Education launched the Mathematics Adaptive Learning System in 2024, which utilizes machine learning to provide customized learning recommendations for each student. The UK, US, and South Korea have also applied digital technology to school management. For example, some schools in the US have established parent communication platforms such as ClassDojo and Remind, through which parents can timely understand their children's learning situation and school notifications. Bridging the digital divide and resolving digital ethical risks. While digital technology empowers basic education and brings strong driving force, there are also certain ethical risks. Adhering to the principle of digital goodness, bridging the digital divide, and actively guiding the rational application of intelligent technology has become a necessary duty. The UNESCO Strategy for Technological Innovation in Education (2022-2025) proposes a strategic vision of "technology ensuring equitable and inclusive quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all". The core of this vision is to prioritize providing technical support to the most marginalized groups, including girls, people with disabilities, displaced persons, and residents of small island developing states. The "Action Plan to Eliminate the Digital Access, Design, and Use Gap in Education" released by the United States in 2024 has launched an initiative on how American society can narrow the digital divide in education. This initiative suggests bridging the digital divide from three aspects: accessing educational digital resources, designing digital educational teaching, and how to use educational digitization. In addition, with the large-scale development of artificial intelligence technology, its potential safety and ethical issues have become a global focus of attention. Christian Besier, the research director of the French National Center for Scientific Research, pointed out that artificial intelligence should become a collaborative partner for students, rather than a tool to replace collective activities or research discussions. In 2023, Australia released the "Framework for the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Schools", which clearly outlines key elements such as privacy protection, data security, transparency, fairness, and accountability, aiming to guide schools to responsibly use artificial intelligence technology and remain highly vigilant against behaviors that violate students' privacy rights.
