Digital Transformation: The Utilization of Information and Communication Technology to Enhance Educational Management Efficiency in the Modern Era

Digital transformation in educational management has become a significant phenomenon in recent decades, especially with the rapid advancement of information and communication technology (ICT). In this modern era, education is not only viewed as a classroom-based learning process but has expanded to include digital platforms that support teaching, assessment, and administration. This study aims to analyze how ICT utilization can enhance the efficiency of educational management, focusing on the factors influencing the successful implementation of digital transformation in educational institutions. The research adopts a qualitative approach with a literature review design. Data collection was conducted using secondary data from relevant scientific articles published between 2014 and 2024, with sources obtained from Google Scholar. The study’s findings indicate that digital transformation in educational management, through the use of ICT, has proven to be a key factor in improving operational efficiency, the quality of learning, and the accessibility of educational services. The use of digital platforms such as e-learning, school management systems, and modern administrative technologies facilitates more efficient and responsive management. Despite challenges such as the digital divide, human resource readiness, and data security, the proper implementation of technology can support the sustainability of education in the modern era.
