THE INTEGRATION OF DIGITAL GOVERNANCE TOOLS IN EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT FOR QUALITY ENHANCEMENT

Abstract

The digital transformation of education has accelerated the adoption of governance tools that enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in educational management. Digital governance tools, such as learning management systems (LMS), student information systems (SIS), data analytics platforms, and e-governance applications, are increasingly being integrated into institutional frameworks to improve decision-making and quality assurance. This article explores the role of digital governance in educational management, focusing on how these tools contribute to quality enhancement in higher education. It highlights the advantages of integration, including improved accessibility, efficiency, stakeholder participation, and data-driven decision-making, while also addressing challenges such as digital divides, cybersecurity risks, and resistance to change. By analyzing best practices and emerging trends, the study argues that effective integration of digital governance tools is essential for sustainable quality improvement and global competitiveness in education.
