This study builds on a 2015 World Bank report that assessed education management information systems (EM IS) in the State of Maryland. That report uncovered a successful system and this one expands on lessons learned and ways to apply them in practice.
In the digital age, information is power. When information is effectively harnessed and aligned with student learning, it carries the potential to radically transform the delivery of education, as well as the sector as a whole. Increasingly, education systems are moving away from using education data narrowly for compliance purposes; instead, they are embracing data as a tool to drive system-wide innovation, professionalization, and, most importantly, learning. Whether to prioritize and optimize data and information systems around student learning is no longer an option; it is an imperative for education systems that aim to excel and achieve strong learning outcomes.
