As outlined in the Education Sector Plan, this can include, but is not limited to, the state of literacy, examinations, repetition, dropout rates, and assessments. Through OpenEMIS, the MoET can address gaps in the education, provide better monitoring and transparency, and provide a robust decision support system for the country. This will help to ensure that existing education data is put to good use and that the implementation of OpenEMIS strengthens Lesotho’s nationalcapacities.
