Features and Purpose of Education Management Information System

A Management Information System or MIS is a central repository that essentially gathers, organizes and stores data, processes and analyses it, and generates various reports from it. This data is easily searchable and can be retrieved using a few keywords at any given time.

In the field of education, MIS has specific roles in the growth of an educational institution. A system that monitors and manages the distribution and allocation of educational resources in the programs offered by an institute is called Educational Management Information System (EMIS). It helps to plan, manage and strategize to implement work processes to execute the education system efficiently.

The Educational Management Information System was initially used to make school administration more efficient. EMIS provides useful information for effective planning, policy development and evaluation to administrators and teachers. However, these days education institutions intend to align academic processes and produce better learning outcomes too by implementing comprehensive management solutions.
