Abstract:

This article examines the impact of digitalization on the quality management system in Romanian pre-university education, within the framework of the SMART.Edu 2021–2027 Strategy and the alignment with European policies such as the Digital Education Action Plan (2021–2027). The analysis is based on a review of educational policies, international frameworks (OECD, UNESCO, EU), and institutional platforms (SIIIR, Edusal, ARACIP Online). Findings reveal that digitalization contributes to evidence-based decision-making, transparency, and stakeholder engagement, while challenges persist in terms of digital inequalities, teacher preparedness, and data security. Conclusions emphasize that digitalization is not merely a technological development but a multidimensional cultural and organizational transformation, fundamental for a sustainable and equitable quality management system in education.
