Educational Statistics at a Glance 2008-09

Abstract

From Introduction: For successful implementation of any educational programme, effective monitoring, coupled with efficient information system, is essential. While monitoring framework under SSA is developed separately, concerted efforts have been made towards strengthening of Educational Management Information System (EMIS). Collection of data in the field of education often turns into an end in itself. Very often such data is collected simply to be sent to a higher administrative authority which means that the information collected does not get interpreted and / or utilized at the level at which it can be used to make useful interventions for improvement in education.
