Education officials in Mayuge District, Uganda, used DHIS2 to classify 1,746 learners by type and level of disability, then used that evidence to open a special needs education unit at Ikulwe Primary School and secure trained teachers, ramps and braille machines.

Regional education offices in Togo now analyze school census data directly in DHIS2 to deploy teachers, prioritize school construction and target classroom furniture shortages—work that once depended on centrally produced reports, and that has left planners asking for data more current than the annual census cycle provides.
The Digital National Education Management Information System (DNEMIS), built on DHIS2, went live nationwide on July 1, capturing data on more than 124,000 schools and 40 million learners—one of the world’s largest DHIS2 implementations.
