The last century witnessed many scientific inventions and discoveries that changed numerous aspects and fields of life, with the digital technology revolution being one of the most significant. The invention of the computer and its wide and varied applications contributed to the emergence of a great renaissance that digitally influenced discoveries and studies across the globe. The computer has facilitated the performance of institutions in a world of rapid growth and continuous development.

It became essential for every professional to evaluate and align their profession with the demands of these trends in this fast-paced life. Nations, through their various organizations, have sought to achieve their designated goals and objectives with efficiency and effectiveness. The computer has helped enhance the overall performance and productivity of individuals and institutions in various fields and at all levels.

The computer first appeared in education within major educational institutions, specifically in American universities. Its use at that time was limited to handling some administrative and financial matters. It was later used in research projects, and then introduced into some academic subjects. Most educators believe that the computer has a significant impact on educational systems worldwide. Those interested in educational sciences later agreed that the introduction of the computer into education was primarily through its use as both a teaching material and an educational tool.

From this came the idea for this book, 'The Computer in School Administration.' This device has eased the significant responsibilities placed on schools and those in charge of their administration and educational environment in all aspects, without exception. This effect is clearly evident in the services the computer provides, which even competent administrators would struggle to handle without the assistance of a computer and its software. There are a large number of diverse administrative, financial, and technical tasks that the computer can perform with ease.

This book covers four chapters as follows:

• Chapter One: School Administration: Addresses the concepts of educational, instructional, and school administration, the differences and relationships between them, the importance of school administration, its functions, objectives, characteristics, and other related topics.
• Chapter Two: The Computer in Education: Provides a historical overview of the computer, including its definition, generations, components, characteristics, importance, the timeline of its use in education, reasons for its use in teaching, globally used computer programs for teaching, its areas of application in teaching, and the experiences of some countries in this field.
• Chapter Three: The Computer in School Administration: Discusses the uses of the computer in administration, personnel affairs, student affairs, and in administrative and office work.
• Chapter Four: Applications of Computer Use in School Administration: Covers practical applications for using computers in school administration.
