PRACTICAL PATHS OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF LIFELONG LEARNING UNDER THE BACKGROUND OF HIGH-QUALITY DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

At present, China is at a crucial juncture of demographic structural transformation and industrial upgrading. The digital transformation of lifelong learning is an effective means to promote the high-quality development of education, advance the construction of a learning society and enhance China’s comprehensive national strength. From the perspective of high-quality development, this transformation must follow the basic principles: taking fairness and inclusiveness as the cornerstone, quality and efficiency as the core, collaborative innovation as the driving force, and sustainable development as the ultimate goal. The five paths of technological empowerment, resource supply, subject collaboration, institutional guarantee and quality improvement can be adopted to tackle the prominent problems in the digitalization of lifelong learning, such as the digital divide, unbalanced resource allocation and unsound governance mechanism, which calls for the joint efforts of all stakeholders. The successful digital transformation of lifelong learning will inject strong impetus into the construction of an educational power, and lay a solid foundation for the all-round development of individuals and the harmonious progress of society.
