The Use of UIS Data and EMIS to Monitor Inclusive Education
In The Use of UIS Data and Education Management Information Systems to Monitor Inclusive Education, the UNESCO Institute of Statistics (UIS) outlines how EMIS systems in general, and OpenEMIS in particular, approach the collection of data on students with disabilities. As outlined in this Information Paper, UIS identifies OpenEMIS’s approach to collecting disability data on in the ten countries where the OpenEMIS disability template is being implemented. Addressing OpenEMIS’s capacity to track “vision, hearing, gross motor, fine motor, intellectual, communication, and behaviour/socialization“ of students, the paper also demonstrates OpenEMIS’s intentions to collect disaggregated information to enable policymakers to create the necessary interventions for all students with disabilities. As an EMIS developed to produce reliable and timely data collection for inclusive indicators in the education sector, OpenEMIS strives to make data collection more inclusive to ensure that “no one is left behind.”
