Development of a Model for Integrating Modern Technologies into Public Education Governance in Ukraine

Abstract

The digitalization of public education management has become a key factor in increasing the efficiency, transparency and accountability of educational systems in the world, which is especially important for Ukraine in the context of decentralization and integration into the European educational space. The introduction of information technology in the field of education management requires not only technical upgrades but also a rethinking of management models, competencies, and decision-making mechanisms. The purpose of the study is to study the trends of digital transformation of public education management and identify factors that affect the efficiency of digital management processes. The research methodology is based on quantitative methods, including a survey of heads of educational institutions and representatives of local authorities, including a questionnaire survey of heads of educational institutions and representatives of local authorities, as well as analysis of statistical and analytical data from international organizations (OECD, UNESCO UIS). The results obtained showed a steady increase in the index of digital accessibility of education (by an average of 18% annually), the expansion of e-government and the improvement of digital competence of managers. It is established that the effectiveness of digital reforms directly depends on the level of digital culture, leadership and ethical responsibility of managers. Based on the data obtained, a multi-level model of integration of information technology into the system of public education management is proposed, which covers the strategic, analytical, operational and communication levels. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using this model to optimize management decisions, develop managerial training programs and create sustainable digital ecosystems in the field of education. The results are of practical importance for the formation of state policy on digital education management, as well as for harmonization of Ukrainian approaches with European standards of smart governance.
