Abstract: The digital transformation of education is significantly reshaping human resource management (HRM) practices in both public and private educational organizations. This paper examines how digital technologies are influencing HRM in the education sector, emphasizing the need for schools to align with evolving technological trends. Driven by the growing role of digitalization in education, the research offers a comparative analysis of public and private schools, exploring how each is navigating digital change and managing HR practices. It begins by outlining the theoretical foundations of HRM in education, then assesses how educational organisations are incorporating new technologies into recruitment, staff development, performance evaluation, and internal communication. The study highlights both the opportunities and challenges that digitalization presents for HRM, providing insight into the similarities and differences between 2 pilot schools (one public and one private) in their adaptation strategies. Through its in-depth analysis, the paper enhances the understanding of how digitalization is driving structural and organizational changes in HRM in the educational system.
