School management transformation has become an important topic 
in improving the quality of sustainable education, especially at the 
high school and vocational school levels, which face serious 
challenges related to teacher quality and the effectiveness of the 
teaching and learning process. This study aims to analyze how 
changes in school management, particularly in the management of 
teaching staff, impact the improvement of sustainable learning 
quality. This study uses a literature review method with a 
descriptive qualitative approach. The data sources include indexed 
national and international journal articles, education policy reports, 
and relevant regulatory documents from the last five years. The data 
analysis techniques involve the stages of of literature identification, 
theme classification, content analysis, and conceptual synthesis. The 
theories used include educational management theory, human 
resource management theory, and the concept of sustainable 
education. The results show that school management transformation 
that focuses on improving teacher competence, sustainable career 
development, and a flexible performance evaluation system 
contributes significantly to improving the quality of learning. These 
findings confirm that the sustainability of education is highly 
dependent on the effectiveness of teacher human resource 
management that is able to adapt to changes in the educational 
environment.
