Abstract
The article examines the features of the digital transformation of general secondary education institutions. The relevance of the study is due to the rapid development of information and communication technologies and the need for secondary education institutions to adapt to new management conditions. The goal is to determine effective strategic approaches to the digital transformation of secondary education institutions and the development of public management mechanisms. The study uses such methods as the analysis of scientific and methodological literature and regulatory legal acts, modeling and forecasting methods, and a systemic and structural approach. Modern theoretical approaches to the digital transformation of general secondary education institutions are analyzed. Key strategic guidelines and models for the digitalization of general secondary education institutions in the context of public management have been identified. The concept of “digital school” is considered, in particular, the main characteristics and strategic guidelines. The main models of digitalization of secondary education institutions in the context of public management are presented. The main attention is focused on the role of state educational policy in the formation of digital strategies for secondary education institutions. The mechanisms of public management in secondary education institutions in the digital environment are characterized. The relationship between the level of digitalization of secondary education institutions and indicators of the quality of educational services is identified. Strategic approaches to the development of digitalization of secondary education institutions are systematized. The prospects for the development of digital management in secondary education at the regional and national levels are determined. The conclusions establish that the digital transformation of secondary education institutions has a positive effect on the efficiency of management and educational processes, increases the quality of education, promotes the professional development of teachers and improves communication between participants in the educational process, while its success is determined by the level of technical equipment, digital competencies of personnel and the presence of a strategic development plan for the institution. Future research should be aimed at assessing the effectiveness of new digital tools in secondary education institutions, studying their impact on educational outcomes and management processes, as well as developing methodological recommendations for the integration of digital technologies, taking into account the human resource potential, resource provision and specifics of secondary education institutions.
