Community on smart data and digital technology in education

An Architecture for the Integrated Education Management Information System

Description

Rwanda has one of the fastest-growing education sectors in Africa. Despite the progress, the education sector still faces a multitude of challenges ranging from poor quality, high dropout rates, low motivation, nutrition and feeding requirements for students from more impoverished families, poor reading culture, to gender inequalities in education. Improving access to education for vulnerable students, especially those with disabilities, is another challenge. Rwanda faces a significant shortage of teachers, with primary teachers often working two shifts, resulting in excessive work overloads. To address these challenges, the Government of Rwanda seeks to transition from merely tracking education coverage and access to understanding education quality and equity across different dimensions.
