<![CDATA[This study examines the functions and benefits of Management Information Systems (MIS) within the education sector, driven by the growing need for fast, accurate, and well-integrated information management. As educational institutions face increasingly complex administrative and instructional demands, MIS becomes an essential tool to support effective organizational performance. Using a literature review approach, this research explores how MIS contributes to administrative processes, daily operations, and data-driven decision making in schools. The analysis reveals that MIS plays a critical role in enhancing both teaching–learning activities and overall school management by regularly collecting, processing, storing, and presenting information. Through these capabilities, MIS allows institutions to conduct more accurate evaluations, design strategic plans, and improve service quality. Additionally, MIS supports efficiency in administrative work, broadens access to relevant information for stakeholders, and strengthens transparency as well as institutional accountability. The findings underscore that MIS is not merely a supporting tool but a strategic component required to build modern, responsive, and efficient educational governance. Overall, the study highlights that the effective implementation of MIS can significantly elevate the quality, performance, and competitiveness of educational institutions in the digital era.]]>
