This study aims to analyze innovations in educational management in the Society 5.0 era and their impact on improving educational quality and institutional effectiveness. Society 5.0 represents a human-centered society that integrates advanced digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing, into various aspects of life, including education. In response to these developments, educational management must adopt innovative approaches to ensure that educational institutions remain adaptive, efficient, and responsive to the changing needs of learners and society. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach through a literature review of recent studies and reports related to educational management and digital transformation in education. Data were collected from scholarly articles, books, policy documents, and international reports published between 2024 and 2026. The data were analyzed using content analysis techniques to identify major trends, challenges, and innovations in educational management practices. The findings indicate that innovations in educational management in the Society 5.0 era include the adoption of data-driven decision-making, digital leadership, smart learning management systems, technology-based administrative services, and the integration of artificial intelligence to support planning, monitoring, and evaluation processes. These innovations contribute to improved organizational efficiency, enhanced educational services, greater stakeholder engagement, and more personalized learning experiences. However, challenges such as limited digital competencies, technological infrastructure gaps, cybersecurity concerns, and resistance to change remain significant barriers to successful implementation. The study concludes that innovative educational management practices are essential for achieving sustainable educational development in the Society 5.0 era. Educational leaders and policymakers should strengthen digital transformation strategies, promote continuous professional development, and invest in technological infrastructure to maximize the benefits of innovation in education. These efforts will enable educational institutions to become more adaptive, inclusive, and competitive in an increasingly digital society.
