The Ministry of Education has announced plans to introduce a new data management system to replace its current one, which it says, has a lot of inefficiencies.
The new Kenya Education Management Information System (KEMIS) will be rolled out soon to take the place of the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS), the ministry has said.
The system will help in the management of data at the ministry, including data on staff, students, teachers and learning institutions. NEMIS was introduced by the Education Ministry on July 31, 2017, to collect and manage data of students, from Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE) to the university level.
