Abstract

The study investigated digital transformation and administrative efficiency in schools. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. Three research questions were formulated and were analyzed using mean. The instrument for data collection was a self-structured questionnaire titled “Digital Transformation and Administrative Efficiency in Schools Questionnaire (DTAESQ)”. The reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach Alpha method and a reliability index of 0.81 was obtained and was used for the study. The findings of this study revealed that digital technologies contribute significantly to faster storage, improved accuracy, reduced errors, easier retrieval, enhanced document security, and timely updating of school records. The findings revealed that digital technologies contribute significantly to reducing errors, enhancing security and confidentiality, facilitating regular updates, improving information sharing, increasing the accuracy of assessment records, and enabling faster preparation of academic documents. The findings also revealed that school administrators are reasonably proficient in the use of digital platforms, electronic communication tools, digital document management systems, data security practices, and emerging technologies. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others that higher education schools school administrators are reasonably proficient in the use of digital platforms, electronic communication tools, digital document management systems, data security practices, and emerging technologies.
