Development of professional competence of the head of a general secondary education institution in the context of digitalisation of the educational environment

Abstract

The article examines the development of professional competence of managers of general secondary education institutions in the context of digitalisation of the educational environment. Particular attention is paid to the importance of combining management skills with digital technologies, which is a key condition for the effective functioning of a modern general secondary education institution. The main aspects of the professional competence of managers are identified, including leadership qualities, managerial skills, communication skills, digital literacy, as well as the ability to innovate and adapt to change. The importance of digital skills as an integral part of the manager's competence is emphasised, which allows him/her to implement innovative solutions, ensure digital security and organise the educational process using electronic resources. The article analyses the challenges faced by the heads of general secondary education institutions that hinder the effective implementation of digital tools in the management of educational institutions.
