Abstract

Blockchain application in educational administrative systems has emerged as a possible way to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in administrative and academic operations. Despite its growing relevance, a systematic review of blockchain applications across public administration and the field of education is not abundant. With this inquiry, we intend to deliver an extensive literature review to highlight trends, benefits and limitations regarding the use of blockchain technology in educational governance and management in the interest of systematically reviewing and reporting empirical studies through the PRISMA methodology. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, consisting of synthesizing relevant literature according to the specification outlined by the PRISMA framework, resulted in 25 quality studies that were published between 2016-2025, selected from various peer-reviewed journals contained within the databases of IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Emerald Publishing, MDPI, and Wiley Online Library. Results of a thematic analysis revealed three significant themes: (1) blockchain enables secure verification of credentials, exchange of credits and green learning teaching learning processes; (2) blockchain supports public sector reform, enhancing transparency and accountability within government bodies; and (3) realization of blockchain technology has been hindered by concerns of cost, scalability, privacy and, resistance to implementation. Overall, this study suggests that blockchain can be catalytic for scaling teaching, learning and administrative processes in education and highlights the need for strategic frameworks in order to overcome technological and organizational challenges.

Abstract

AI (artificial intelligence) is becoming an increasingly important factor in educational leadership by sharpening organizational strategy, analytical decision-making, interaction, and creativity. This article aims to systematically review AI applications in educational leadership contexts that can help both leaders and followers identify significant opportunities, challenges, or outcomes as part of effective leadership practice in a digital age. A qualitative systematic literature review was conducted using several credible databases (IEEE Xplore, Science Direct, MDPI, Wiley Online Library, Web of Science) and included work published from 2018 to 2025. A search strategy was developed to include specific keywords pertaining to AI and educational leadership along with peer-reviewed and English language studies. After applying stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria during the review, 35 studies were selected and analyzed in depth. The analysis points to the possibilities of AI to boost strategic planning, efficiency in resource allocation, predictive decision making, performance monitoring and evidence-based supportive approaches to personalized learning. AI opens up intentions and engagements between leaders, educators, and learners, and serves as an evidence-based resource for leader innovation in practice. The review and commentary also highlight key issues for research and practice, namely the ethical implementation of AI in education, methodological rigor, and transparency in reporting effects, and the critical role of human and AI collaborative tandem as a leadership practice for maximization. In conclusion, AI has the potential to advance educational leaders' effectiveness toward more efficient, informed, and innovative models, while also informing research and practice implications.

Abstract

As digital technologies continue to proliferate, university students are especially vulnerable to the risks associated with cyber threats, and there is a dearth of research related to the cybersecurity awareness of university students in a developing country context. The purpose of this study is to examine the cybersecurity knowledge, attitudes, and practices of first-year students at Kabul University in Afghanistan to determine the influence of gender, faculty, and awareness of cyber law on intentions to engage in secure online behavior. To collect data, we conducted a cross-sectional survey of 371 students who were recruited using stratified random sampling. Participants were introduced to and administered a survey using the Contextualized Cybersecurity Educational Research Instrument (CCERI), and data was analyzed on SPSS using descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, ANOVA, Chi-square tests, and multiple regression models. The results indicated that students had moderate to high levels of cybersecurity knowledge and generally positive attitudes, but that they demonstrated fewer secure practices and a knowledge-practice gap emerged. Male students and students from the Computer Science faculty had greater awareness of cybersecurity and higher recognition of phishing attempts than female students and students from the other faculties. Multiple regression models indicated that cybersecurity knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of the cyber law were significant predictors of secure behavior; this suggests that we need to develop and integrate educational interventions to support positive behaviors in terms of secure cyber practices. Our research adds new knowledge by integrating awareness of cyber law with cybersecurity behavior in Afghanistan as its own unique context. We conclude with recommendations for evidence-informed decisions to implement and develop institutionalized programs to address capacities in cybersecurity education for students in Afghanistan.

Abstract

Monitoring educational infrastructure in conflict-affected countries such as Afghanistan remains critical for understanding social transformation and guiding evidence-based policy. Indeed, rather vital. This study develops an integrated Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) framework to analyze the spatial distribution, growth, and accessibility of educational facilities in Afghanistan between 2020 and 2025. Multi-temporal satellite imagery from Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8/9 was combined with socio-economic datasets, including population density, poverty indicators, and official school records, to map schools and madrasahs, assess accessibility, and identify infrastructure scarcity hotspots (what is more, the combination yielded quite robust results). Accessibility analyses employing urban and rural buffer zones revealed significant disparities, with rural populations facing markedly limited physical access and correspondingly higher educational deprivation. Quite stark, in fact. Multi-criteria hotspot modelling further highlighted those regions where high population demand converges with poor facility quality and teacher shortages, thereby indicating critical service gaps. For that matter, these gaps persist rather stubbornly. Comparative analysis of infrastructure growth versus population expansion demonstrated, quite convincingly, that in many urban and rural areas new school construction has not fully matched demographic demand, thus revealing unmet educational needs. The study emphasises that spatially explicit, data-driven approaches are essential for equitable educational planning and for supporting social transformation in fragile contexts. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers, international donors, and planners to prioritise interventions in underserved regions and promote inclusive educational development. Future research could usefully integrate real-time geospatial monitoring and participatory approaches to enhance educational planning and social development strategies further.
