Digital Agency, in cooperation with Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, is promoting educational Digital Transformation (DX). In educational DX, we aim to realize a "society where anyone can learn in their own way, anytime, from anywhere, with anyone," through reducing the burden on teachers and staff, improving learning environments for diverse learning, and improving the quality of education through the use of educational data.
This section introduces government-wide policies and Digital Agency's initiatives, results, and examples.

What is Education DX?

School education in Japan aims to create an environment in which students with diverse personalities, characteristics, and backgrounds can be included, and efforts are required to enable these children to adjust their learning by themselves according to their individual circumstances.
In addition, in order to create a "blank space" for teachers to be close to each student, it is also necessary to reduce the workload of teachers by using digital technology.
We have formulated a government-wide Educational DX Roadmap and are promoting educational DX to realize a society in which all children can learn to be themselves, with anyone, from anywhere at any time.

Whole-of-Government Efforts (Education DX Roadmap)

The Education DX Roadmap is a blueprint (future concept and plan) and schedule for promoting measures in cooperation with Digital Agency, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. In the Education DX Roadmap, each measure is organized into related measures based on the following five axes.

  • Reduction of burden on faculty and staff by digitalization
  • Development of a learning environment for diverse learning
  • Enhancement of learners' self-understanding and teachers' perception through data
  • Development of an environment in which learning data can be utilized throughout life
  • Use of educational data for research purposes that also contribute to educational policy and practice

Please check the details below.

Please refer to the following for the background of the formulation.

Efforts in Digital Agency

As a control tower for the digital society, Digital Agency coordinated the formulation of an educational DX roadmap.
In addition, in order to realize the society we aim for through educational digital transformation, we are conducting research and studies through digitalization that will reduce the burden on faculty and staff, as well as initiatives to create environments where students can make use of learning data throughout their lives.

Digital Agency's Efforts in the Roadmap

  • Digitalization for high school entrance examination staff
    • In order to reduce the burden on faculty and staff, we have demonstrated the full digitalization of entrance examination procedures to eliminate the hassle of paper and duplicate entry in high school entrance examinations, and we are supporting the nationwide deployment of the results.
  • Interconnection of educational digital services
  • Assurance of the authenticity of user data
    • We are conducting demonstrations to develop an educational certification infrastructure (a mechanism for appropriately exchanging data) that can prove and link to the safe and secure the history of learning, including "who learned what", in order to develop environments where learning data can be utilized throughout life.
