Sri Lankan Education Data Management Revolution Begins...

The Sri Lankan Ministry of Education, in collaboration with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and the Korean Educational Development Institute (KEDI), initiated a project in 2020 to enhance educational data management. To address challenges in data accuracy and collection, over 11,000 Data Officers were appointed across school, divisional, zonal, provincial, and national levels. This effort aims to ensure timely and accurate data for effective policy-making.

To further support these Data Officers, a detailed online training program was launched. The training, available in Sinhala and Tamil, includes modules and videos designed to improve data management skills. Successful participants receive an internationally recognized e-certificate. This initiative, widely commended by educational leaders, signifies a crucial advancement towards sustainable data management in Sri Lanka's education system.
