"Building and sustaining a data system are complicated tasks, and
despite significant investments many countries struggle to have a functional Education Management and Information System (EMIS). Data for Learning: Building a Smart Education Data System provides practical strategies to navigate this complex challenge. After outlining the foundations of a successful
data system, the book provides tips for harnessing it to maximize learning outcomes. Furthermore, it provides guidance on how to avoid common implementation mistakes when developing such a system and provides examples of countries that have been successful in doing so. The author argues that a successful EMIS requires robust software (with a solid system architecture,
serviceability, data coverage, and system dynamics), a sound policy framework, strong organizational structure, physical infrastructure, human capital, and appropriate funding streams. "
