Abstract:
An Education Management Information System (EMIS) is a system for collecting, integrating, processing and disseminating data to support decision-making, policy analysis and the formulation, planning, monitoring and management of the education system at all levels. It is a system in which people, technologies, models, methods, processes, procedures, rules and regulations work together to provide education leaders, decision-makers and managers at all levels with a comprehensive set of relevant, reliable, unambiguous and timely integrated information and data to help them meet their responsibilities.
In this paper we propose:
- a data-driven architecture to guarantee data feedback via the different varieties of sources, formats and interoperability of different applications, all thanks to an ontological model and generic connectors.
- an adaptive architecture to enable predictive analysis, guarantee better decision-making and, above all, adapt to the African context with its strong operational constraints (limited bandwidth, unavailable Internet access, frequent power cuts, low computer processing power, lack of data security).Keywords:
