Abstract

This article examines how school leaders can use multiple sources of educational data to make more transparent, timely, and context-sensitive management decisions. Through a conceptual review of international research and Uzbekistan’s education legislation, it proposes a practical school-level cycle linking problem identification, data interpretation, collaborative planning, implementation, and review. The article also identifies risks related to data quality, staff capacity, privacy, and excessive accountability.
