Abstract: Activating digital transformation in basic education holds the potential to effectively address educational wastage by leveraging innovative technologies and strategies to optimize teaching and learning processes, enhance student engagement and outcomes and mitigate inefficiencies in educational practices. The objective of this research was to explore the feasibility of implementing digital transformation as a solution to address educational wastage in basic education schools within the Irbid Governorate. The study adopted a descriptive and analytical methodology employing a random sampling technique to select a sample of 270 principals and teachers from elementary education schools in Irbid Governorate. Data collection was facilitated through the utilization of a questionnaire as the research instrument. The validity and reliability of the instrument underwent a meticulous examination and validation process through a series of rigorous steps. The findings revealed several obstacles hindering the activation of digital transformation in basic education including the absence of integrated digital systems that function cohesively, limited utilization of modern techniques, technologies and teaching methods and insufficient teacher proficiency in technology usage and training. The study recommends overcoming these challenges by transitioning the school environment into a digital ecosystem, supporting the professional growth of teachers in scientific, educational and technical domains, establishing systems and regulations to enhance the school environment and improving teaching methods and learning strategies.
