Educational Policy Transformation in the Era of Society 5.0

Abstract

This study aims to describe the direction of educational policy transformation and human resource strengthening in the era of Society 5.0. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this study reviews various literature and educational policies published in the last five years. The results of the study show that contemporary education policy must be oriented towards synergy between technological innovation and human values. The application of school-based management and data-based governance has been proven to increase the effectiveness and participation of the community in education management. Digital transformation in education not only modernizes the learning system but also expands access to adaptive and inclusive learning resources. However, the main challenges lie in the readiness of educators, infrastructure gaps, and the need to strengthen the character of students so that they are able to use technology ethically. Thus, future education policies need to be directed towards a humanistic, participatory, and sustainable system to create an intelligent and civilized society.
