Abstract
Education management information systems
(EMISs), usually located within the ministry of education,
are tools that can help governments improve education system
administration by providing information that can be used in
strategic planning, resource allocation, and monitoring and
evaluation. Frequently, however, they are underutilized and
become merely a reporting mechanism. Using the data at the
point of collection usually individual schools in a
decentralized environment and feeding them into service
improvement action plans can circumvent problems with the
national EMIS, and allow the data to become instrumental in
improving local education service delivery outcomes.
