Digital education has been flagged as a high-growing public sector vertical in both emerging and leading-edge economies in the Asia/Pacific region. With more Asia/Pacific countries and cities looking to nurture future talents for the broadening knowledge economy, the race to gain leadership in provisioning a digitally empowered workforce will be a critical game changer. IDC Government Insights: Asia/Pacific Education Digital Transformation Strategies provides analyses of key education IT and digital transformation trends in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) (APEJ) region, focusing on institutional outcomes-based reforms to bring about cutting-edge learning and pedagogical innovations, efficient student administration competencies, and forward-looking future campus operations management. The documents track the current and future trends of IT acquisition, post-digital transformation implementations, and technological innovation use in educational institutions; highlight relevant government-related funding and administrative initiatives that are spurring IT use in the education sector; and provide education IT spending forecast analyses for key technology and education vertical segments.

This service develops unique and comprehensive analyses of data focused on providing actionable recommendations. Relevant market data is collected through IDC Government Insights' proprietary research projects, focused surveys, ongoing communications with industry experts, education industry stakeholders, and technology vendors, complemented by secondary research from conferences, publications, and third-party news sources. To ensure relevance, our analysts work with subscribers to identify and prioritize specific topics to be covered in research documents.

• Education IT market investments and analyses
• Three key growth focuses: Improving student outcomes and institutional standings (e.g., developing a culture of lifelong learning and innovating curriculum design and planning), optimizing campus administrative and operational efficiencies (e.g., building a digitally ready internal workforce and running an efficient institution), and enhancing personalized and peer learning (e.g., improving personalized student learning experiences)
• Government initiatives (e.g., digital education strategy, funding for PDLDs, and connectivity) and regulations (e.g., security and privacy regulations) affecting the remote-learning education sector, especially in today's post-pandemic and economic crisis contexts
