The Ministry of Education and Sports of the Republic of Uganda in 2017 drafted the Education Management Information (EMIS) and kicked it off in 2021 for institutions to have their students’ information uploaded to get clarity when budgeting , planning for students on a timely basis. Basic statics and the learner’s progress are provided on the EMIS portal once an institution registers which is helpful to the teacher in such a way that a student is assisted where necessary academically.
Since there are numbered Personnels to execute the perfection of EMIS , 174 local government officials and 988 selected heads of various institutions across Uganda are to take part given that the training is targeting 1,327 stake holders .
Head teachers are advised to update their students’ status in the EMIS consistently , for now Ministry of Education and Sports says it has sofar uploaded 11.5 million students into the Education Management System which is a mile stone .
Case of forgery of National Examinations results are likely to be mitigated with the help system since all students’ information is uploaded on to it as well as misinformation that flows to teachers and students especially from the Ministry of Education and Sports such as regulation of school fees among Ugandan schools , the criteria followed by an institution when setting school dues among so many others
