Results: Key strategies include infrastructure development, educator training, stakeholder collaboration, and data-driven evaluations, with challenges like budget constraints and resistance to change. Novelty: It bridges innovation theory with practical applications in madrasahs. Implications: Findings guide policymakers and educators to drive effective, culturally aligned digital transformation.
