NEMIS and Its Objectives
The National Education Management Information System (NEMIS) is a critical tool in managing the education sector in Kenya.
The web-based platform collects data from education institutions and processes it to provide a solid ground for effective management. It ensures that every learner counts.
NEMIS tracks performance and mobility of learners and teaching staff to ensure efficiency and effective utilization of education resources.
One of the objectives of NEMIS is to streamline data management for informed decision-making and planning of the education sector.
The platform provides an online platform for capturing education data at the school level, including school and learner information. This helps to standardize the data collection process and ensure that data is accurate, reliable, and easily accessible.
Another objective of NEMIS is to provide an integrated Business Intelligence (BI). The BI provides statistics used to report national and international indicators in education and training sub-sectors.
This allows education agencies to share data collected to ease and facilitate administrative and decision-making processes.
NEMIS also provides flexibility in handling resources that go to education institutions. This includes; infrastructure support, textbooks, and facilitation of school feeding programs.
It helps in tracking costing parameters in education and training, which is essential in ensuring that resources are allocated effectively and efficiently.
With the inclusion of GIS components, the Online Platform will help in geographical analysis of education indicators, including the production of various maps much needed in the education sector.
This allows decision-makers to visualize education data, which is essential in identifying trends and patterns and making informed decisions.
In conclusion, NEMIS is a critical tool in managing the education sector in Kenya. It helps in standardizing data collection, provides reliable and accurate data, and facilitates informed decision-making and planning in the education sector.
The platform’s objectives of streamlining data management, providing an integrated Business Intelligence, and providing flexibility in handling resources and tracking costing parameters in education and training, are essential in ensuring that every learner counts.
