The Ministry of Education has started training for its Education Management Information System (EMIS) Core solution.
Headteachers and data entry clerks from Education Districts Region Four, Region Five and Georgetown are being trained this week, a release from the Ministry of Education said yesterday. Training exercises will be organized for the remaining Districts soon.
This week’s training is being facilitated by Abdelrahim E. Mehyar- Programme Advisor of Community System Foundation (CSF) and 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 and other areas at all levels of an education system.
Additionally, the distribution of devices to support the implementation of the EMIS Core has also started 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.
