The principal at MAN 01 Bondowoso not only acts as an administrator but also as an inspirational leader, innovator, and key driver of the madrasah's digital transformation to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of teacher performance. The principal functions as a motivator and visionary manager in shaping a work culture based on information technology through thorough planning, strategic implementation, and continuous evaluation with a transparent data foundation.
