Part of the World Bank’s new Education Sector Strategy, this evidence-based initiative, called SABER (Systems Approach for Better Education Results), uses diagnostic tools for examining education systems and their component policy domains against global standards and best practices and in comparison with the policies and practices of countries around the world. By leveraging this global knowledge, the SABER tools fill a gap in the availability of data and evidence on what matters most to improve the quality of education and achievement of better results. This report discusses the results of applying the SABER Education Management Information Systems (EMIS) tool in the State of Maryland in the United States. The objectives of this paper are twofold. First, it examines the system according to key policy areas, identifies successes and challenges in the system, and provides recommendations to support the continued advancement of EMIS in Maryland.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC STANDARDSSYSTEM TRAININGDOMAINSFILE TRANSFERSCOLLEGETEACHERSADVANCED DEGREESMATERIALSCOLLECTION OF INFORMATIONGLOBAL KNOWLEDGEINFORMATION SYSTEMPOLICY FRAMEWORKRESEARCH AGENDAVIDEOLEVELS OF EDUCATIONINFORMATIONMONITORINGPRIVACYCAREERHIGHER EDUCATIONWEB SERVICESINFORMATION COMPONENTTECHNICAL SKILLSDATA POLICIESIMPLEMENTATION PLANPRICECOLLEGESMINISTRIES OF EDUCATIONINFORMATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONHIGH SCHOOLSRESEARCH INSTITUTIONSACCESS TO EDUCATIONENABLING ENVIRONMENTINSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATIONPROFESSORSLITERACYDATA MARTEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATIONAL PERFORMANCEINSTITUTIONSGLOBAL STANDARDSLINKDATASTUDENT INFORMATIONDATA PRIVACYEDUCATION STATISTICSTECHNICAL ASSISTANCEQUALITY OF EDUCATIONTRAININGPRIVATE SCHOOLSDATA POLICYGRADUATETECHNICAL DOCUMENTSPRIVACY PROTECTIONACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTBUDGET ALLOCATIONTARGETSTECHNICAL EXPERTSSTAFF DEVELOPMENTMINISTRIESGRANT PROGRAMSAUTOMATIONLEARNING OPPORTUNITIESSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTWEBLINKSLEARNINGTECHNOLOGY SUPPORTGRADUATESSCHOOL QUALITYRESEARCHMATERIALDATA ANALYSISTEACHINGDATABASESINVENTORYCOMMUNITY COLLEGESONLINE SERVICESLEGAL FRAMEWORKCAPABILITIESGRANTSBUSINESS INTELLIGENCEUSERSEDUCATION SYSTEMSTECHNOLOGYAVAILABILITY OF DATARELIABILITYDATA COVERAGEDROPOUT RATESSTUDENT POPULATIONQUALITY MANAGEMENTSCIENCEINTERNAL PROCESSESGRADUATION RATESOFTWAREBEST PRACTICESSTUDENTSCHOOLSRESULTSSTUDENT MOBILITYCOMMUNITY COLLEGELEARNING OUTCOMESDATA ELEMENTSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMETADATADATA MARTSGRADUATION RATESFACULTIESMANAGEMENT SYSTEMCOLLECTION OF DATARESEARCHERSEDUCATIONAL QUALITYEXPENDITURESBEST PRACTICECAREERSQUALIFIED TEACHERSONLINE PRIVACYSTATE EDUCATIONCONFIDENTIALITYDATA ARCHITECTURELEARNING OBJECTIVESSTAFF SALARIESCURRICULUMTEACHERADMINISTRATIONGENERAL PUBLICRESULTCOLLEGE STUDENTSUNIQUE IDENTIFIERTECHNICAL STAFFSECURITYEDUCATION LEADERSREAL-TIME ACCESSBUSINESSDATA WAREHOUSESHUMAN RESOURCESDATA WAREHOUSEDATA DEFINITIONSPERFORMANCERETENTIONCOMMUNITY EDUCATIONINSTRUCTIONPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTIMPLEMENTATION PROCESSCERTIFICATESINSTITUTIONCOLLEGE GRADUATESFUNCTIONALITYUNIVERSITYSTUDENTSCLASSROOM PRACTICEDIGITAL SYSTEMSLEARNING ASSESSMENTSCOMMUNICATIONTECHNICAL EDUCATIONQUALITY ASSURANCEDEGREESINTERFACEDATABASESCHOOLSECONDARY EDUCATIONEND USERSTUDENT LEARNINGTARGETUSESACADEMIC YEARUSERSTUDENT GROUPSTechnical PaperWorld Bank10.1596/24457
