The study results indicated that the overall role of digital technology in achieving the requirements of sustainable development in basic education schools in the Sultanate of Oman, from the perspective of school principals, was at a medium level. Additionally, there were statistically significant differences at the level of (α = 0.05) related to gender favoring females; however, no significant differences were found due to the impact of the academic qualification variable.
