摘要

The educational landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by the twin forces of digitalisation and the green transition, a concept borrowed from the business sector. This chapter explores the profound changes in the management of education, which has increasingly adopted business models and vocabulary. The digital transition, characterised by the integration of digital technologies and data, is reshaping work organisation, content and skills, while the green transition emphasises environmental, economic and social sustainability. The chapter explores the implications of these transitions for teachers’ time management and the wider educational ecosystem. It highlights the challenges and opportunities presented by the twin transitions, including the need for innovative teaching methods, high-quality digital content, secure platforms and comprehensive digital capacity planning. The chapter also discusses the impact of these transitions on teachers’ workload, motivation and well-being, as well as the need for up- and re-skilling to meet the demands of the digital and green age. The EU has been at the forefront of promoting the twin transitions, with initiatives such as the European Green Deal and the Digital Education Action Plan. However, the implementation of these policies has been uneven and fragmented across Member States, with some regions prioritising digitalisation and others focusing on the green transition. The chapter concludes by highlighting the need for a more equitable distribution of funding and resources to ensure that all educational institutions can effectively integrate digital technologies and contribute to the twin transition.
