A description of the target state of digital transformation in early childhood education and care, pre-primary, primary and lower secondary education is completed in autumn 2023. The description is drawn up as part of the ‘Framework for Digitalisation in Early Childhood Education and Care, Comprehensive School Education and Liberal Adult Education’ project, which develops the guidance, direction and effectiveness of digitalisation and the anticipation capacity of the Ministry's administrative branch.

The description makes concrete the objectives set out in Finland's Digital Compass, Policies for the digitalisation of education and training until 2027, and other significant documents defining how digitalisation should be carried out in the sector from the perspective of early childhood education and care and pre-primary, primary and lower secondary education. Digitalisation is examined through seven areas: preconditions for digitalisation development, digital competence, support for developing digital infrastructure, services and interoperability, data management and quality, data protection and information security, digitalisation-related legislation and legal interpretation, and digitalisation research.

The objectives of digitalisation are described in the context of early childhood education and care, pre-primary, primary and lower secondary education. This should enable all those involved in the education and training sector to carry out long-term, proactive and strategically guided work to achieve the desired outcomes. A description of the nationally defined and shared outcomes will help the parties to come up with concrete measures, advancing digital transformation towards the sector's shared target state.
