Abstract
The rapid development of technology is profoundly reshaping the landscape of education worldwide. This abstract explores the fundamental transformation that education systems are undergoing due to the integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and adaptive learning platforms. This paper follows a theoretical-research approach of an exploratory nature, aiming to analyze current developments and future educational perspectives through the analysis of existing literature. The shift towards digitalization has not only opened new opportunities for personalized learning but has also introduced complex challenges, including digital inequality, data privacy concerns, and the need for continuous teacher training. This work examines these dimensions critically, aiming to identify sustainable strategies that educational institutions can adopt to ensure inclusive, ethical, and effective use of technology. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining literature analysis with field-based experiences from pilot projects in secondary schools. Findings highlight that while technological tools can enhance engagement and access to information, their success largely depends on pedagogical adaptation and institutional readiness. The abstract concludes by reflecting on future scenarios where education evolves into a more learner-centered and technology-enhanced ecosystem.
