The purpose of the article is to model the main stages of sustainable development through the digital transformation of educational institutions in the region. World trends in the development of society, education, science and economy are aimed at the transition to digital transformation. Successful digitalization is becoming a key condition for the successful functioning of both the region and the entire country. Accordingly, today the successful sustainable development of the region is impossible without effective digitalization of higher education. Based on the results of the study, paired models of sustainable development of the region were formed with the help of digital transformations, taking into account the characteristics of the educational environment. The study has a number of limitations related to the inability to cover more than one region. Subsequent research should be related to ensuring the sustainable development of the region through the digitalization of other areas of activity.

The main purpose of the article is to form a methodological approach to the digitalization of the education management system in the context of ensuring the sustainable development of a single socio-economic system. The relevance of the topic of the article is due to the active development of modern digital technologies and the advancement of requirements for the digitalization of education for sustainable development. The object of the study is a single educational institution and its system for ensuring sustainable development. The basic modeling technique represents the main research methodology. The main articles propose new models for the effective digitalization of the education management system in order to ensure its sustainable development, taken specifically as an institution of higher education. As a result, we have described a new methodological approach to improve the integration of all aspects of digitalization into the education management system in the context of sustainable development.
