The type of data collectedand indicators produced by EMIS must be reviewed and furtherdeveloped to include student level data. Integration ofother education databases into EMIS will result in moreeffective utilization of education data for decision making.EMIS needs to be supported by regular internal and externalaudits to improve the accuracy of data collected andutilized indecision making. The quality of feedback reportssent to schools should be enriched with more relevant microlevel information on school performance.
