| description | The digital transformation of education aims to equip the human capital with a set of digital
skills characterized by complementarity that can be applied interdisciplinary. Besides, digitalization
is often linked with economic development and efficiency, which led to the adoption of the Digital
Education Action Plan 2021-2027 by the European Commission. As one of the EU-27 high-income
member states, Romania fails in terms of digitalization of the human capital or economy. Hence, the
main purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of digital education and human capital
development on sustainable economic growth in Romania. The methodological approach used both
qualitative and quantitative methods, like the regression model that allowed the quantification of
relationships between variables. Data collection was applied for the period between 2020 and 2024.
The main findings suggest that many systemic issues prevent Romania from taking advantage of its
robust digital infrastructure. Despite the important growth potential presented by Romania, the lack
of a clear innovation strategy to develop digitalization for sustainable economic growth had a very
negative effect on the development of digital competencies of the human capital. Further research
should focus on the role of digital skills in labour market resilience, the impact of digital education on
regional economic disparities, and the governance and policy interventions in digital transformation. |
