Join the live Zoom session here.Read more on Pamod Amarakoon's presentation on the DHIS2 Community of Practice here.SDG 4 on Quality Education calls for inclusive and equitable education that promotes lifelong learning opportunities for all. This can't be achieved without the use of quality data to guide decisions that can lead to the improvement of both equitable access to education as well as being able to track improvements in learning outcomes.
DHIS2 for Education extends the DHIS2 software platform from the health sector to education, for the collection, analysis, visualisation and use of individual and aggregate data from institutions of learning. It takes advantage of decades of experience with national-level Health Management Information Systems (HMIS), offering a stable, scalable and customisable Education Management Information System (EMIS) solution; a solution backed by international donor organisations as a public good.
Join us to discover how the DHIS2 community is part of a new shift, changing the landscape of improved data for improved decision-making for education stakeholders across the globe.
