DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE FRENCH EDUCATION SYSTEM: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

Abstract

This article examines the ongoing digital transformation of the French education system, a process accelerated by national strategy and global technological shifts. It analyzes the key drivers, including government initiatives like the "Digital Strategy for Education 2023-2027" and the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The study highlights significant opportunities in personalized learning and administrative efficiency, while also addressing profound challenges such as the digital divide, teacher training gaps, and ethical concerns. The research concludes that the successful modernization of French education hinges on a balanced, critical, and equitable approach to technology adoption, ensuring it serves pedagogical goals rather than dictating them.
