The study has three key objectives: (1) to carry out an initial diagnosis of the perception of digital transformation and information and communications technology (ICT) skills of the school community, (2) to evaluate the possible existence of significant differences between the participating schools according to their level of digitalisation, and (3) to identify the factors that enable and limit digital transformation and ICT in schools. 

This project is timely as the COVID-19 pandemic led to the closure of schools for a significant period of time, thus accelerating the process of digital transformation and increasing the need for ICT and generalised distance learning. Identifying the strengths and weaknesses of school programmes aimed at supporting ICT and facilitating digital transformation in schools is crucial for future post-pandemic digital and educational challenges.
