Twenty Data Management Assistants (DMAs) were recently recruited and equipped with laptops to support their upcoming placements at Education Authorities across the country through the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development (MEHRD) ‘Improvem Education Management Information System (EMIS) Project’, supported by the Solomon Islands Education Sector Support Program (ESSP).
DMAs put the laptops to use immediately in specialized training on education data management. The project commenced in early 2023, building on the existing MEHRD data collection processes and aims to enhance and strengthen the availability, management, and use of education data within MEHRD, at schools and regionally to improve education outcomes in Solomon Islands.
DMAs were recruited over the past three weeks and are currently being training by MEHRD Information Services Division (ISD) staff in Honiara over an intensive two-week period before DMAs commence their roles at the provincial level.
