Education Ministry Issues Ultimatum On Registration Of Teaching And Nonteaching Staffs On The Education Management Information System.

The Ministry of Education and Sports has directed all public and private schools including those not on the government payroll to register their staffs on the Education Information System (EMIS) portal by 15th April 2024.

In a circular issued by the Permanent Secretary to the Ministry Ketty Lamaro, the program is a source of data for determining payment of grants to government education institutions.

The Ministry has with effect from this academic year adopted EMIS as an incentive to government institutions to provide timely and up-to-date information on learners.

''I have however noted that the registration of teaching staff, which should be easier than that of learners, is still low despite our reminder in the Calendar of EMIS activities of 9th February 2024''. PS Lamaro said.

All government institutions should upload their teaching and non-teaching staff (including those not on government payroll) on the EMIS portal by 15th April 2024. Failure to abide by this deadline is likely to delay payment of April salaries and all private institutions should upload their teaching and non-teaching staff on the EMIS portal by end of Term 1 of the academic year.  The circular reads in part.

The ministry warned that no person shall teach in any public or private school of any description unless he or she is registered as a teacher or licensed to teach in accordance with Section 11 of the Education Act. You should therefore ensure that all your teachers are registered in the Teacher Management Information System (TMIS) portal by 15th April 2024.
