Description¶

The article defines school accountability as responsibly carrying out roles and tasks and structures it into four core components. It states that "School accountability consists of four core components: participation, evaluation, transparency, and feedback mechanisms", meaning accountability is achieved when goals are in place, ownership is delegated, transparent evaluation occurs, and there is regular feedback. The framework underpins the study's questionnaire indicators and its argument that digital transformation drives accountability through transparency of educational inputs, processes, and outputs.
