The development of the digital era presents both challenges and opportunities for the education sector. Advances in information and communication technology (ICT) have significantly transformed interactions and the implementation of learning processes. This study aims to analyze educational management strategies in improving quality within the digital context. The digital era demands appropriate and adaptive management approaches to enhance the effectiveness of technology-based learning. This research employs a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, utilizing interviews, observations, and documentation as data collection techniques. The findings reveal that digitalization has begun to be implemented across various aspects of education, although several challenges persist, including limited technological infrastructure, insufficient training for educators, and unequal access to digital resources. The main strategies applied involve the development of a digital-based curriculum, the improvement of teachers’ competencies in utilizing technology, and the use of digital platforms to support both learning activities and administrative processes. In addition, leadership plays a critical role in ensuring the successful implementation of digital transformation. This study concludes that technology-based educational management strategies can improve the effectiveness of learning and overall education management. Therefore, strengthening infrastructure, providing continuous professional development, and fostering collaboration with external stakeholders are essential to support sustainable digitalization in education.
