The Role of Digitalisation in Strengthening the Competitiveness of Education

Digitalisation is the defining concept of the 21st century. Today, there is no area of life that is not digitised, not connected to the internet in some way, not connected to an online platform where the actor or solution is available. Digitalisation cannot be excluded from the education system either. Higher education has long taken advantage of the opportunities offered by digitisation, which greatly facilitates the lives of individuals involved in education. It is an effective and good solution for the educators, but it is also an equally effective and good solution for the learners. In this study, we want to assess the impact of digitalisation on the competitiveness of education and the perceptions of those involved in education, students and learners. We want to assess how the competitiveness of education as a key area can be improved by moving part of education from the physical space to the digital space and how this is received by those involved in education. In this paper, we will present our findings and the context that determines and judges the current state of the art of this issue based on the results of a Hungarian primary research.
