Abstract

Technology is arguably the most influential force shaping the education sector today. As an essential aspect of 21st-century life, often referred to as the “fourth revolution,” technology presents both challenges and opportunities. Its complexities are deeply connected to broader social developments. During global school closures, teachers, students, and families demonstrated remarkable achievements using even basic technologies. Education, being one of the most crucial elements of human life, was among the first sectors to be severely impacted by the pandemic, as maintaining social distancing was impractical on school premises. The integration of technology into education represents one of the most profound transformations the sector has ever experienced. Technological advancements are reshaping the roles of teachers and students alike. Technology serves as a powerful tool, enhancing and revolutionizing education in numerous ways. It simplifies the creation of educational content for teachers while opening up innovative, engaging methods for learning and collaboration. By reducing the workload for educators and helping students grasp concepts more effectively, technology influences both teaching methods and learning experiences. Furthermore, technology-driven learning and assessment systems play a crucial role in improving educational outcomes. They generate valuable data that can be used to continuously refine and enhance the education system across all levels
