Abstract: With the wide application of digital technology in the field of education, the digital-driven educational change has become a worldwide theme. Countries continue to introduce digital development strategies and plans to implement the digital transformation of education in an all-round way. Since the launch of the education reform program named “GIGA School Program” in 2019, Japan has continuously improved the level of digital infrastructure construction, strengthened the application guidance of digital teaching in schools, improved the teacher training and support system, and achieved certain results.The implementation strategy reflects the characteristics of attaching importance to the concept of educational fairness, pursuing precise target management, emphasizing educational application guidance, and building a diversified collaborative system.However, there are still a series of problems in the implementation process, such as regional differences in the use of equipment, the increased work burden of teachers, the misunderstanding of the digital transformation, and the lag of educational management concept, which reflect the particularity and complexity of the digital transformation of education.

Key words: Japan, digital transformation of education, GIGA School Program, education reform
