This timely and essential study examines how the twin transitions of digitalisation and ecological responsibility are reshaping the foundations of contemporary education. The book explores the systemic shifts in school organisation, professional roles, and working conditions, positioning itself at the intersection of educational management, sustainability, and technological change. It identifies persistent structural barriers that have been a hindrance to the implementation in recent years, ranging from inadequate infrastructure to institutional resistance. It also highlights innovative practices that have emerged through cross-disciplinary collaboration and pedagogical experimentation. Furthermore, it offers solutions that will help overcome the obstacles. Drawing on extensive empirical research and actual case studies, it captures the pressures placed on educators, particularly during crises, and the potential for renewal. A central focus lies in rethinking time use, task coordination, and teacher well-being, advocating for adaptive strategies and institutional support. In alignment with the European Union's strategic agenda, the book calls for an education system that is not only future-ready but also equitable, humane, and resilient.
