Prospects for the development of rural schools in the context of digital transformation: analysis of possible development scenarios, including the creation of a digital educational environment, the introduction of online learning, the use of artificial intelligence and big data.
Barriers and restrictions: consider the obstacles that may arise when implementing digital technologies in rural schools, such as lack of funding, lack of qualified personnel and problems with internet access.
International experience: analysis of successful cases of digital transformation of education in rural schools of different countries.
The purpose of the work is to identify the main directions of digital transformation of rural schools, assess their potential to improve the quality of education and develop recommendations for the implementation of these changes.
