| Summary: | The main objective of this paper is to
outline what matters most for an effective education
management information system (EMIS). It presents the
conceptual background and operational tools for the Systems
Approach for Better Education Results (SABER)‐EMIS domain.
These tools are intended for use by government education
policy makers to assess policy areas of relevance to a
country’s EMIS against international best practices. This
paper begins with an introduction of the domain and the
rationale for an EMIS benchmarking tool. Chapter one then
provides an overview of current data‐related demands to
improve education, explains how an EMIS meets those data
demands, and highlights examples of specific systems in
action. Chapter two outlines what matters in an EMIS,
starting with an explanation of what comprises the construct
validity and theoretical underpinnings for benchmarking an
EMIS. This chapter shows that the guiding principles behind
an EMIS drive actionable policies. A detailed description of
four policy areas, specifically, the enabling environment,
system soundness, data quality, and utilization for decision
making, then follows in chapter three. That chapter
describes the rubric for the SABER‐EMIS Tool and gives a
brief overview of an EMIS benchmarking pilot, which
demonstrated the feasibility of the concept. The last
chapter describes how an EMIS is benchmarked, scored, and
subsequently leads to a situation analysis. This assessment
sequence provides an understanding of the strengths and
weaknesses of an EMIS system for a fuller, more
comprehensive depiction of its status. Overall, this paper
evaluates whether a management information system is set up
to use the information it generates for improving
operational efficiency and educational quality. |
