Main Article Content
Abstract
This study examines the alignment of educational institutions with digital leadership, focusing on the challenges and opportunities in integrating technology and innovation into school leadership practices. As education increasingly embraces digital transformation, educational leaders must navigate the complexities of adopting and implementing digital tools to improve teaching, learning, and administrative functions. Through a mixed-methods approach that includes surveys, interviews, and case studies, the research identifies key challenges such as resistance to change, lack of digital infrastructure, and insufficient professional development for educators. Conversely, it highlights opportunities for enhancing leadership effectiveness, promoting data-driven decision-making, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. The study concludes that successful digital leadership requires a strategic approach that combines visionary leadership, adequate resources, and a commitment to teacher training, ultimately creating an environment that supports both academic achievement and organizational efficiency.
