Abstract

This study investigates the pivotal role of data governance in driving digital transformation within the education sector. It highlights the importance of improving data quality, security, interoperability, and integration to establish efficient and transparent educational data ecosystems. The analysis reveals significant challenges, including fragmented adoption of governance practices, the absence of tailored public policies, and a lack of standardized metrics to measure governance impacts. Additional barriers, such as compatibility issues with legacy systems and insufficient technical training, hinder the effective implementation of data governance strategies. This research emphasizes the need for collaborative and interdisciplinary efforts to address these challenges, advocating for developing practical, scalable, and context-specific solutions. By tackling these issues, data governance can be firmly established as a cornerstone for innovation, improved decision-making, and enhanced transparency and equity in the education sector, ultimately supporting its digital transformation and long-term sustainability.
