Abstract

Education today necessitates modernization through the latest digital tools and technologies. The integration of EdTech and leadership is crucial for advancing modern education. To effectively apply technology in educational institutions, understanding the role of leadership is essential. Education reforms are underway to stimulate innovation and enhance digital technology use, focusing on flexibility, student-centric approaches, and visionary leadership. Notable entities like UNESCO and Khan Academy are at the forefront of promoting comprehensive professional growth. Leadership styles, such as distributed, transformational, and visionary leadership, are pivotal in adapting to new technologies. The technology divide, marked by uneven access to devices and the internet, remains a significant challenge, often amplifying educational disparities. Adapting to new educational environments poses challenges for educators, necessitating that educational leaders prioritize stress reduction activities, collaboration, and a supportive work environment for teachers.
