Abstract:
ABSTRACT
The research investigated the managerial expertise and credentials of EMIS
managers, as well as the ways in which stakeholders make use of EMIS for the
purposes of planning, policy creation, and strategic development. A
descriptive research design was used to carry out the investigation in this
study. A strategy known as intentional sampling was utilized in order to
choose members of the sample population. Participants in the study were
regional, metropolitan, and municipal directors of education, in addition to
their 4 frontline deputy directors. A total of 56 people were included in the
sample group. According to the findings of the study, EMIS offices are
present in the Regional and District Education Offices of the Greater Accra
Region, EMIS' fundamental objectives are being realized, and the Ministry of
Education views the Yearly School Census as the most crucial source of
information on the situation of each school. Another issue found out was that
EMIS does not have its own official webpage. In addition, EMIS users are
often individuals who are familiar with it; as a result, familiarity with EMIS
influences its application. Users who are part of a family are underrepresented
in EMIS. According to the findings of the study, EMIS should have a website
that is dedicated to it and has a good reputation where users, patrons, scholars,
and stakeholders may go to find educational content.
