Abstract
2021 is a year of anniversaries in the IFIP family. IFIP TC3 WG3.7 is 25 years old. Celebrating anniversaries is a good opportunity to reflect on how far we have come, and what the future holds. The incorporation of digital technology in education reflects an evolution of light and shadow, with many challenges for the future. Information technology has not only been present in the field of education as a teaching-learning tool, but has also played an important role in educational management. This paper analyses the contribution of IFIP TC3 WG3.7 to the development of the field of Information Technology in Educational Management. It contextualises its origins within the framework of the evolution of digital technology and analyses the most recent situation. The challenge for the future is to reflect on the possible contribution of contemporary educational management trends to help create a balance that facilitates the implementation of digital technologies in education while meeting the social objectives that give meaning to the educational system.
