Challenges of Using Data in School Administration

Challenges include data privacy and security, potential misinterpretation of data, and managing large volumes of information. Administrators must implement robust protocols to protect sensitive data and ensure that analyses accurately inform decisions supporting merit-based outcomes.

Establishing strict access controls and encryption for student data systems safeguards information, while training staff in data literacy reduces the risk of misinterpretation.

To overcome these challenges, administrators adopt best practices that facilitate effective data use in school management.
