We are living in a time when educational and administrative decisions require more than just intuition—they demand data, technology, strategic vision, and agility. In this panel discussion, Gustavo Zaniboni and Carlos Pompeu explore how information systems, data analysis, and innovation can transform educational management: from IT infrastructure and information security to data-driven decision-making, including practices that integrate technology, efficiency, and equity. They discuss challenges and solutions for taking institutions to a new level, where technology and purpose go hand in hand to make a real impact on learning and students’ futures.
