Educational quality in Colombia faces persistent challenges in coverage, equity, and learning outcomes, This study analyzes the strategic articulation between the Integrated Planning and Management Model (MIPG), a mandatory framework, and the Colombian Technical Standard NTC ISO 9001:2015, a voluntary certification, as complementary tools to optimize public educational management, through a reflective-documentary approach, regulatory frameworks, specialized literature, and practical cases were reviewed, including experiences in the Secretariats of Education of Meta, Montería, and Bello (Antioquia), results show improvements in six dimensions: administrative, pedagogical, human talent, control and transparency, organizational culture, and sustainability. The discussion highlights the feasibility of integration, its benefits and limitations, and proposes strategic actions to consolidate it. Conclusions emphasize the need for committed leadership, personnel stability, sustained resources, and continuous training to ensure successful implementation.
