Secondary Education Management Information System
(SEMIS)
Purpose of SEMIS
The Secondary Education Management Information
System aims at creating a comprehensive database on secondary and higher
secondary education for facilitating planning, monitoring and related secondary
education management activities under the RMSA. The SEMIS intends to cover all
recognized institutions in the State/UT imparting secondary and higher
secondary education. It envisages collecting relevant data relating to profile
of the institution, enrolment, repeaters, passouts, teacher provisions,
infrastructure and teaching-learning facilities, and school level income and
expenditures. Data thus collected using the DCF under the SEMIS would be
processed and stored both at the district and state levels. Accordingly,
necessary arrangements are being made at the district level to institutionalize
SEMIS under the RMSA.
As part of this exercise, this Data Capture Format
(DCF) is to be administered to all recognized secondary and higher secondary
schools, intermediate/junior colleges/pre-university classes attached to degree
colleges in the State/UT. This DCF is to be filled in by the
Headmaster/Principal of the school/college. Since the reliability of the SEMIS
database depends on the accuracy and completeness of the information to be
furnished by the institution, you are requested to answer each item in the DCF
carefully and accurately. Your commitment and cooperation have huge implications
for effective planning and management of secondary education in the State/UT.
In order to develop SEMIS, the Data Capture Formats
(DCFs) developed, finalized and printed by NUEPA have been sent to all the
states and union territories of the country. Using these DCFs the States and
UTs are collecting data and information from all the recognized secondary and
higher secondary schools. A web-based software has already been developed by
NUEPA which will be used by all states and UTs for developing computerized
Secondary Education Management Information System (SEMIS). The tabulation,
analysis and interpretation of data thus collected will be used for preparing
the status report of secondary education which will, for all practical
purposes, be a diagnostic study in order to plan for secondary education in
coming years.
