Data are a crucial ingredient in any successful education system,
but building and sustaining a data system are challenging tasks.
Many countries around the world have spent significant resources
but still struggle to accomplish a functioning Education Management
Information System (EMIS). On the other hand, countries that have
created successful systems are harnessing the power of data to
improve education outcomes. Increasingly, EMISs are moving away
from using data narrowly for counting students and schools.
Instead, they use data to drive system-wide innovations,
accountability, professionalisation, and, most important, quality
and learning. This broader use of data also benefits classroom
instruction and support at schools. An effective data system
ensures that education cycles, from preschool to tertiary, are
aligned and that the education system is monitored so it can
achieve its ultimate goal - producing graduates able to
successfully transition into the labor market and contribute to the
overall national economy. Data for Learning: Building a Smart
Education Data System and its forthcoming companion volume shed
light on challenges in building a data system and provide
actionable direction on how to navigate the complex issues
associated with education data for better learning outcomes and
beyond. Data for Learning details the key ingredients of successful
data systems, including tangible examples, common pitfalls, and
good practices. It is a resource for policy makers working to craft
the vision and strategic road map of an EMIS, as well as a handbook
to assist teams and decision makers in avoiding common mistakes. It
is designed to provide the "how-to" and to guide countries at
various stages of EMIS deployment. A forthcoming companion volume
will focus on digging deeper into the practical applications of
education data systems by various user groups in different
settings.
