Abstract

The advancement of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has led to an increased demand for its integration into education. The GIGA School Concept, initiated in 2018, aims to address the disparities in ICT educational environments and establish an inclusive learning environment for all children through ICT. By March 2023, the provision of one device per student and the enhancement of classroom environments in public elementary and junior high schools were nearly complete. The concept is now transitioning to the next stage, facing challenges such as implementing ICT terminals in high schools, digitizing school facilities beyond regular classrooms, achieving digital transformation (DX) in school management, utilizing cloud services, enhancing teachers' ICT instructional capabilities, and improving home environments. To support "individualized and optimal learning" as well as "collaborative learning," it is crucial to strengthen collaboration between schools and local governments, rectify digital disparities among schools and households, and ensure a continuous budget allocation for ongoing development. Therefore, it is essential to provide empirical data demonstrating the positive impact of ICT utilization on academic performance.
