Abstract
This study analyses the effect that digital transformation has had on organizational agility in private schools in Guyana from the years 2015–2025. As education systems globally adopt technologies like Learning Management Systems (LMS), data analytics and online collaboration tools, private schools have had to follow suit, and in some cases, have taken the lead. However, most private schools have had to deal with unique challenges in digital adoption, including financial constraints, infrastructure gaps and teacher readiness. This research will aim to assess how digital tools strengthen institutional agility and enable private schools to adapt to technological changes, respond to disruptions and improve academic results of students. The study makes use of a systematic review methodology that is guided by PRISMA guidelines in order to thoroughly synthesize existing literature. This process will help identify the best practices, challenges and strategies that will be particularly relevant to Guyana’s educational context. The study is supported by the Dynamic Capabilities Theory and the Resource-Based View. Both theorize on how organizations, including schools, build up technological competencies to strengthen agility. The findings of this study will provide insights that are actionable for educators, policymakers and school administrators. The subsequent implementation of these lessons will result in effective digital strategies in private education. Since this is a very critical research gap, this study offers practical recommendations that will strengthen digital integration in private schools and guarantee that they remain adaptive, competitive and future-ready in a world where education is increasingly succumbing to the prevalence of technology.
