The Ministry of Education of Ethiopia has a mission to ensure effectively, quality, and equitable education and training systems through building the capacity of the education sector at all levels. Facing an urgent need for comprehensive data and insights to ensure the success of the transformation process in the education sector, the Ministry sought to introduce country-wide education data analytics.
With no Higher Educational Training Management Information System (HETMIS), decision-makers were lacking relevant data to drive the right decisions, and the impact of the implemented strategies could not be measured. The education transformation process was in urgent need of comprehensive data and insights to ensure its success.
As part of our Leaders in Digital Transformation of Education program, Microsoft is empowering education systems to move beyond siloed and static data to integrated, real-time insights using modern data and AI services and practices supported by our solution partners.
Introducing advanced analytics in education
EDLIGO, a Microsoft Azure, PowerBI, and Office365 powered solution for advanced analytics and decision-making in education, was implemented in close collaboration with the Ministry of Education. A strategy, steering, and project management board was created to ensure successful execution, and a continuous improvement work stream was put in place.
The HETMIS strengthens the Ministry’s data collection, management, reporting, and analytics capabilities. It enables to Ministry to master the end-to-end data collection and analysis process and provides a powerful technology platform. The system can be used by multiple stakeholders at different levels, from higher education institutions to college or department levels. Read More...
