Abstract: The digital transformation of education has become an important topic of common concern in today’s society. As digital technologies are applied ever more extensively in the field of education, the stable balance of the traditional right to education has been disrupted, giving rise to a potential rights crisis: digital resources enhance learners’ awareness of self-development while it indirectly weakens the performance of obligations by the duty-bearers corresponding to the right to education; the diversity of digital resources results in a loss of attention focus of the subjects of the right to education; and the lack of effective regulation of digital resources exacerbates the inequity in the content of the right to education. Given the irreversible trend of digital development, safeguarding the right to education through legislation, centering on students’ development, and employing digital governance as a means can help achieve equality in the right to education.

Key words: educational digitalization, digital transformation of education, right to education, evolution of the right to education
