It seeks to identify overall trends\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand characteristics of Bank support in this area, with the intent of informing future project preparation and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eanalytical work. Although several good practices were evident, operational performance of EMIS activities fell\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eshort of expectations, with widespread deficiencies that ranged from unclear definitions and understanding of the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEMIS to ineffective implementation and utilization. Future projects could benefit from the SABER EMIS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssessment Framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SABER EMIS framework focuses on the need for a (a) strong enabling\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eenvironment, (b) system soundness, (c) quality data, and (d) effective utilization as the key factors essential for\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe successful implementation of EMIS. This initial needs assessment of a country's EMIS can playa critical role\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein benchmarking countries and provide a valuable foundation for the design of new projects. Examples of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esuccessful EMIS activities include (a) development of an EM IS to manage teachers and provide access to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eeducation (e.g., Afghanistan); (b) utilization of an EMIS as a management tool (e.g., Bosnia and Herzegovina);\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(c) creation of an online EMIS to improve access to education data (e.g., Honduras); (d) using an EM IS as a tool\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto strengthen teaching and learning (e.g., Lithuania and Guatemala); and (e) using an EM IS as a management\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etool for schools (e.g., Malaysia). These success stories highlight how awell-implemented EMIS can improve the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eperformance of an education system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World Bank Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50091786731760,"sku":"9781464810565","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781464810565","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
