Ten officials from across the Caribbean are currently in Guyana for a knowledge exchange programme with the Ministry of Education here on its Education Management Information System (EMIS) that was launched on October 30.
A release from the ministry described the EMIS as an Educational Management Information System designed for gathering, integrating, processing, maintaining, and disseminating data and information. It facilitates decision-making, policy analysis, formulation, planning, monitoring, and management across all levels of an education system. Further, the system integrates individuals, technology, models, methods, processes, procedures, rules, and regulations, to help decision-makers, managers, and general users, to have access to pertinent data and information to make informed decisions.
