It is known that in the modern environment where two globalized, digital and different generations - the "Z" and "Alpha" generations live, management in the education system, as in all areas, must keep up with modernity. That is, the education system must meet the requirements of the times. However, applying these requirements incorrectly does not yield successful results. In the modern educational environment, incorrect management and upbringing have a negative impact on the formation of an individual as a personality. Since education is a process in which, in addition to transmitting knowledge, personality is also formed, incorrect upbringing and management cause great complications in the future.

The main complications caused by the management system in educational institutions are as follows:

* Exam and rating centrality: If an educational institution takes exam results and ratings as the main criteria, the students are formed with the idea that they will be evaluated only if they receive high grades. As a result, knowledge turns into only a test, and at the same time, negative syndromes such as aggression, fear and depression arise in students. This destroys their ability to understand and be creative.
* Forgetting Emotional Intelligence (EQ): When an educational institution functions only as an "intellectual center" and does not give importance to the education of emotional intelligence, and when ethics and psychological well-being are not placed at the center of education, highly intelligent but socially undeveloped individuals are formed.
* Suppression of critical thinking: If critical thinking is not valued in an institution, if the individual's different and reasoned thinking is not valued, and instead humility and obedience are encouraged, this is the biggest obstacle preventing the improvement of the quality of education and social progress.
* Erosion of ethical values: If moral, ethical and emotional education is not paid attention to in the era of rapid integration of modern technology and artificial intelligence into education, a feeling of emotional alienation and loneliness will arise in students. This will lead to the destruction of ethical values.
* Authoritarian management: Under an authoritarian system, students cannot make independent decisions, avoid responsibility in problematic situations, and are deprived of the ability to solve problems.
In conclusion, it can be noted that the main point that modern education should pay attention to is not to forget that each of the students is an individual. For this, special attention should be paid to a student-centered (student-oriented) approach in education, and in addition to transferring knowledge, human values, ethics and psychological well-being should be placed at the center of teaching. If this approach is followed, students in the future will not only be educated specialists, but also useful to society, individuals with high empathy skills: that is, the synthesis of humanism and the digital age is the way out of this problem.
