This article presents a theoretical and analytical overview of the concept of IT literacy and its significance in the professional activities of educational institution leaders.

Based on international frameworks such as UNESCO’s ICT Competency Framework and the EU’s DigCompEdu, the article emphasizes the impact of IT literacy on the effectiveness of educational governance. The study concludes with strategic recommendations for developing digital competencies among education leaders
