Abstract: Abstract If Education 4.0 is to become Education 5.0, technology must be incorporated into the classroom. The COVID-19 epidemic has exacerbated the recent trend of human existence becoming increasingly concentrated on technology. We learnt from the epidemic to use technology in every aspect of our lives. Additionally, even if adaptation was unavoidable, it became more challenging in the realm of education. The National Education Policy 2020 proposed by the Government of India was a step in the right direction for education. This policy places a high importance on education quality, with digital transformation being one of its main areas of focus. This policy places a high importance on education quality, with digital transformation being one of its main areas of focus. Teachers, who have simultaneously changed and adapted to survive in this “Phygital” learning environment—which blends the digital and physical aspects of education—are the primary pillar of this changing cosmos. This study focuses on the adjustments educators made to adjust to the physical classroom setting in higher education. This paper will also outline the different tools and strategies teachers utilize to give pupils a top-notch education. Using the relevant statistical tools, the factors affecting the quality of instruction and education delivery in this digital age will be determined. Through digital transformation, this study will assist in the development of strategies for delivering high-quality education in a variety of sectors. Educational institution managers can fund teachers’ ongoing professional development to give them the tools they need to successfully navigate both digital and physical learning settings.
