Sumario:This research examines the knowledge of managers about technology leadership, metaverse and artificial intelligence and will determine to what extent managers can adapt to the new age. This study evaluates the digital skills, awareness of digital transformation and effective use of digital tools by school administrators with the increasing use of digital technologies in the education of teachers and students. In order to obtain all these data, open-ended questions were asked to the school administrators. The study group of this research, which was conducted with a qualitative study, consists of school principals and assistant principals working in primary schools in Northern Cyprus in the 2022-2023 academic year. The working group consists of 18 participants. The results of the research show that school administrators play an important role in developing their digital skills and successfully managing digital transformation. When the ideas are examined in general, it is argued that the main goal of adapting to the modern age is to bring all the necessary technological tools to the school, to inform the teachers about artificial intelligence and metaverse before students, and to develop their skills in using technological devices. School administrators also stated that if they have their own inadequacies before teachers, it is necessary to improve themselves in these areas, which will benefit the school and students in digital transformation. Artificial intelligence and metaverse technologies would cost schools very high and that the schools would not be able to cover the costs of these technologies.
