The Benefits of Management Information Systems (MIS) in Increasing the Effectiveness of School Management

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of implementing a Management Information System (MIS) in schools in improving the effectiveness of administrative, academic, and decision-making processes. The research method used a qualitative descriptive approach through observations and interviews with principals, administrative staff, and teachers in several secondary schools. The results indicate that MIS provides significant benefits in accelerating information flow, improving data accuracy, and supporting transparency in school management. However, the success of MIS implementation also depends on the readiness of human resources and adequate technological infrastructure.
