The purpose of the study was to investigate the principals' experiences of the digitalization of the RL and HRB program. The method of the study was qualitative semistructured interviews. The analysis was performed with a phenomenological approach. The study's main questions are:
• What obstacles do the principals' encounter in the work of implementing digital technology in teaching?• What are the principals' thoughts about the digitalization of the RL and HRB program?
The results lead to five description categories about the phenomenon of digitalization in the RL and HRB program. The description categories are as follows:
• The impact of digitalization on education• The impact of digitalization on teachers • The impact of principals on digitalization • The impact of digitalization on the students • The impact of digitalization on the future profession
The conclusion was that the principals' different experiences about digitization can affect how the principals choose to lead and coordinate the digitization work at the schools. This variation in interpretations can have consequences for how equal education will be in the long term.
