<![CDATA[The digital transformation and global complexities of the 21st century have necessitated a reform in educational management to become more adaptive, collaborative, and innovative. This study aims to systematically review the models and strategies of 21st-century educational management that have proven effective in enhancing learning quality and institutional performance. The review adopts a systematic literature review (SLR) method, examining 47 peer-reviewed national and international journal articles published between 2015 and 2025. These articles were selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria such as topic relevance, publication quality, and focus on contemporary educational management contexts. The data were thematically analysed to identify trends, patterns, and best practices in educational management. The findings reveal that the most prominent and impactful strategies include transformational leadership, technology-driven management, personalised learning, instructional leadership, and systemic approaches. These findings highlight that flexibility, collaborative leadership, and technological integration are key to effectively responding to the dynamics of modern education. The study also underscores the importance of local context, infrastructure readiness, and human resource competence in the successful implementation of managerial strategies. The conclusion drawn from this review emphasises that no single model is universally applicable; the success of educational management is significantly influenced by the synergy between adaptive policy, visionary leadership, and cross-sectoral support. The study recommends the development of evidence-based education policies, continuous managerial training, and the strengthening of collaborative networks among stakeholders to create an inclusive, responsive, and sustainable learning ecosystem.]]>
