Project Summary:
Streamlined School Data Collection: Beyondsolutions developed a next-generation mobile data collection application as part of the comprehensive EMIS for the Afghan Ministry of Education (MoE). This user-friendly app empowers education officials to efficiently gather and verify critical school data in the field.
Key Features:
- Multilingual Accessibility: Supports English, Dari, and Pashto, catering to a diverse user base and eliminating language barriers for data collection.
- Offline Functionality: Ensures uninterrupted data capture even in remote areas with limited internet connectivity. Seamless synchronization occurs when an online connection is available.
- Standardized Data Collection: Facilitates data collection based on the Annual School Census (ASC) and data verification questionnaires, guaranteeing consistent and reliable data gathering.
- Rich Evidence Capture: Allows users to record and upload audio/video clips, providing valuable context and supporting verification of collected data.
- Enhanced Data Integrity: Automatic geo-tagging and time-stamping of all collected data ensures accuracy and facilitates location verification, promoting data trustworthiness.
- Secure User Access: Protects data security by restricting access to authorized MoE personnel through a secure username and password login system.
Project Impact:
The EMIS mobile data collection app revolutionizes the MoE’s data collection processes. By improving data accuracy, efficiency, and timeliness, the app empowers the MoE to make data-driven decisions that optimize education management across Afghanistan. This ultimately contributes to a more effective and responsive education system for Afghan students.
