Education information system decentralization: The introduction of digital learner records in The Gambia
Conference paper | Seedy Ahmed Jallow and Terje Aksel Sanner
The Gambia EMIS has mainly consisted of a manual, paper based reporting system maintained from the national level. The recent policy changes, which emphasize social inclusion in quality learning, call for an "EMIS shift", which includes the development of a digital national Teacher Register, Learner Records, and the decentralization of key EMIS functions. Empirically, this paper concerns the steps taken towards a decentralized EMIS in the Gambia as we follow the initial implementation of the individual learner admission and registration system in 200 schools.
