THE Ministry of Education has initiated training for the Education Management Information System (EMIS) Core solution. A training session is currently taking place this week for headteachers and data entry clerks from Education Departments of Region Four, Region Five, and Georgetown. The remaining Departments of Education will soon undergo training exercises.
This week’s training is being facilitated by Mr. Abdelrahim E. Mehyar- Programme Advisor of Community System Foundation (CSF) and Ms. Dahvis Caldeira, Senior Statistician within the Ministry of Education.
The EMIS is an integrated information system for the collection, integration, processing and dissemination of data and information to support decision-making, policy analysis and formulation, planning, monitoring, and management at all levels of an education system.
This system will revolutionise the operations of the education system by allowing Officers to access real-time information about each school in the system.
Additionally, the distribution of devices to support the implementation of the EMIS Core has also begun and will continue throughout the month. The training is intended for all regions as the system has both online and offline capabilities.
The EMIS will enable teachers, and the Ministry of Education’s policymakers to efficiently manage the education sector’s data and take effective measures to address key sector issues.
