Improving Student Learning Through Informed Decisions: The Role of Education Management Information Systems

Short article about the importance of an effective EMIS in education decision-making: Assessing the state of education in a country demands information about the inputs, resources, governance, operations, and outcomes of its education system. An education management information system (EMIS) collects, manages, and facilitates utilization of education data. An effective EMIS provides systematic, quality, timely data, driving efficiency and evidence-based decision making. When implemented effectively, EMIS is linked to higher student achievement and stronger education systems.
