Abstract

Introduction. The digital transformation of the social sphere has a significant impact on the education system, necessitating a shift from traditional hierarchical management models to network-based approaches. However, the lack of systematic theoretical and methodological frameworks for managing educational networks in this context creates a scientific gap and a practical need for the development of corresponding strategic mechanisms.
Aim. To determine the procedure for formulating and implementing strategies for managing educational networks, taking into account the specifics of the digital environment.
Materials and methods. The methods of theoretical analysis and content analysis were applied, enabling the formulation of recommendations for improving the management mechanisms of educational institutions in the context of accelerated digitalization.
Results. Effective strategies for managing educational networks have been identified, ensuring high-quality digital transformation and the creation of an innovative educational space capable of responding to the challenges of modern digital society. A set of measures has been formulated, including the development of national educational data platforms, the introduction of digital literacy standards, training in risk management, and the expansion of network collaboration with business communities and scientific organizations.
Conclusions. It has been established that successful digital transformation of educational networks requires a systemic approach combining strategic modernization, the development of digital infrastructures, and the enhancement of competencies among participants in the educational process. The implementation of the proposed measures creates a foundation for the sustainable development of the educational system.
