Abstract
This academic article aims to examine school administrators' strategies for fostering high-quality digital citizenship. It explores the foundational concepts, the significance of digital skill development in the 21st century, and the critical role of leaders in driving policies that promote the critical, responsible, and safe use of technology. The findings reveal five key strategic dimensions: that key strategies comprise five main dimensions: (1) establishing a shared digital policy and vision, (2) developing curricula and integrating technology across subjects, (3) enhancing the digital competencies of teachers and personnel (4) managing digital environments and infrastructure, for safety and equity, and (5) building strategic partnerships with parents and communities. The study concludes that successful implementation requires Digital Leadership, characterized by a clear vision and the ability to integrate technological knowledge with educational goals to foster a sustainable digital learning culture within educational institutions.
