The Ministry of Primary, Secondary, Technical and Handicraft Education (MEPSTA) has relied on collecting data on paper forms, forwarded to inspectorates for entry into StatEduc, an education statistical application used in about 20 countries. With support from the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad), the Global Partnership for Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (GPE KIX) and HISP West and Central Africa (WCA), MEPSTA is piloting DHIS2 in collaboration with the existing StatEduc application. StatEduc therefore continues to be a tool for data collection, while DHIS2 processes and provides flexible information products from the collected data. The combination of StatEduc and DHIS2 facilitates the sharing of data at all levels of the education system, providing schools and actors at subnational levels access to dynamic dashboards. The solution addresses gaps around visualization and analysis of real time data through indicators such as enrolment by level, teacher pupil ratios, national exam success rates (disaggregated by gender, disability status, etc.). The integration of systems has allowed for legacy data to be used for visualization of trends and comparative analysis.
