This study aimed to analyse the differences in the utilisation of educational technology (Edutech) in mathematics learning between public and private schools in South Lampung Regency and its impact on students’ learning outcomes. The research background lies in the gap in digital infrastructure, teachers’ competence, and school management support that affect the optimisation of Edutech. A mixed-methods approach was employed with a descriptive qualitative and quantitative design. Quantitative data were obtained through mathematics achievement tests conducted in six sample schools representing both public and private institutions, while qualitative data were collected through teacher and headmaster interviews as well as student perception surveys. The findings reveal that private schools, particularly well-established ones, consistently integrate Learning Management Systems and interactive applications, whereas public schools still encounter obstacles such as limited devices and unstable internet access. These differences affect student achievement, with private school students generally scoring higher than their public school counterparts. The study concludes that Edutech contributes positively to mathematics learning outcomes, although its successful implementation strongly depends on policy support, facilities, and the readiness of teachers and students.
