Abstract:
The adoption of e-Governance and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education management stands as a significant opportunity to revolutionize Tripura's educational landscape. This approach addresses critical challenges faced in the current education system, including inadequate infrastructure, urban-rural education disparities, administrative complexities, and limited access to quality education. Highlighting the urgency, statistics reveal a mere 18% of schools with internet access in 2022, underscoring the necessity of bridging the digital gap. The government initiatives in digital infrastructure, digital literacy programs, and e-Governance projects, the impact of these endeavours on streamlining administrative processes, enabling data-driven decision-making, and extending education accessibility to remote areas is profound. However, challenges persist, requiring enhanced ICT infrastructure, resolution of the digital divide, and the assurance of data security and privacy. The ever-evolving technological landscape demands continual adaptation and integration of emerging technologies. To chart a resilient and forward-thinking path, a sustainable, long-term strategy encompassing infrastructure expansion, robust cybersecurity measures, technology integration, public awareness, and stakeholder engagement is imperative for the successful execution of e-Governance in education management. The article argues that the adoption of e-Governance and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education management represents a pivotal opportunity to transform Tripura' s educational framework.
