The Acting EMIS Manager for the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) of Eswatini, along with the DHIS2 for Education Project Manager at the University of Oslo, will join a panel discussion on ensuring that modern data systems lead to actionable improvements.
Modern education data systems are transforming how governments plan, deliver, and monitor education services. But how can these sophisticated tools translate into real-world improvements at all levels—from central authorities to local schools and communities? This question will take center stage at the upcoming IIEP-UNESCO Strategic Debate on “Connecting data points to improve education delivery.”
The debate will explore strategies to maximize the potential of education management information systems (EMIS) by focusing on how data is used effectively to address issues of equity, inclusion, and sustainability in education.
