Abstract: Digital transformation has become a central concern in contemporary school education, reshaping teaching–learning processes, institutional practices, and professional identities. In the Indian context, this transformation is influenced by national policy aspirations, rapid technological development, and significant socio-economic diversity. This paper examines digital transformation and the role of emerging technologies in schools with a focus on pedagogy, teacher professionalism, equity, and ethics. It argues that meaningful digital integration requires a human-centred, inclusive, and context-sensitive approach rather than a purely technology-driven model. By situating global educational technology trends within Indian realities, the paper highlights both opportunities and challenges associated with digital schooling.

Keywords: Digital Transformation, Emerging Technologies, School Education, Teacher Professionalism, Equity, Ethics.
