Global Educational Transformation: Curriculum Reform, Teacher Quality, and Equity in Digital Era

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the dynamics of global education transformation in the context of equal access, curriculum reform, and teacher quality improvement in the digital era. Using the Systematic Literature Review method on scientific publications over the past five years, this study identifies the main trends, opportunities, and challenges in the development of an adaptive, equitable, and inclusive education system. The results of the study show that the digitalization process has expanded access to education at various levels, but on the other hand, it has also created new gaps due to limited infrastructure, technological literacy, and digital competence of educators. Teacher quality is a key factor in the successful implementation of educational technology, as teachers play an important role in integrating innovative pedagogical approaches that are relevant to the needs of 21st-century students. Curriculum reform needs to be directed at strengthening critical thinking, collaborative, and digital literacy skills to respond to global demands. This research emphasizes the importance of collaboration between countries and social justice-based policies to realize a sustainable, inclusive, and humanitarian-oriented education system in the future.
