This study examines how a local education authority uses digital transformation as a governance instrument to advance administrative streamlining. Using the Refined Administration Program implemented by the Department of Education of the New Taipei City Government as a case, the study adopts a case-study approach and combines policy docu¬ment analysis, in-depth interviews, and focus group data. The analytical framework draws on eight types of administrative streamlining measures and the OECD six-dimensional digital government policy framework. Findings show that the program centered on channel governance, data governance, and cross-departmental coordination, and was operational¬ized through document flow reduction, upstream complaint handling, single-channel reporting, modular system development, and iterative feedback. Interview data further indicate that implementation depended on positive framing, empathy-based communication, short-term visible goals, phased capacity-building, and a careful balance between stream¬lining, risk control, and educational quality. The study concludes that digital transformation in local education governance should be under¬stood not as a mere technological upgrade but as a governance process of reorganizing procedures, data, and support systems. Sustainable admin¬istrative streamlining depends on the local government’s capacity to in¬stitutionalize policy instruments, cross-departmental collaboration, and user feedback. |
