About Unified District Information System for Education UDISE
by Aaden Jones Aaden JonesThe
Unified District Information System for Education UDISE was introduced in
2012-13. It is one of the most comprehensive School Education Management
Information Systems available. It has around 15 lakh schools and more than 26.4
crore students. This technology required data to be filled out on paper before
being manually fed into the computer. However, this strategy is prone to errors
and misuse.
In
1995, NIEPA began work on developing a school-based data system with financial
assistance from UNICEF. The district was chosen as a node point for data
collection, computerization, analysis, and application at the school level, in
keeping with the spirit of DPEP. The idea was then taken up at the state and
national levels. District operations are coordinated by EMIS cells at the state
level.
In
addition to the DISE, several new processes for data validation and quality
control of school statistics were implemented. First, a 5-10% validation check
is performed immediately after data collection in all districts. Second, the
software has a plethora of consistency and validation checks. Third, every 2-3
years, a national poll is undertaken to assess the quality and reliability of
DISE data. The second post-enumeration validation survey is now underway.
Fourth, the data flow in reverse has been strengthened to ensure transparency
and data distribution up to the school level. These types of validation
techniques and data transparency have resulted in a significant improvement in
data collection and reporting quality.
Unified
District Information System for Education UDISE+ is
an enhanced version of UDISE that collects data from schools online and in real
time. Its purpose is to address faults with the UDISE system, such as data
inaccuracies and delays. In 2018-19, the Department of School Education and
Literacy created UDISE+. Data capture, data mapping, and data verification have
all been improved in the UDISE+ system.
Unified
District Information System for Education Plus
(UDISE+) is one of the largest Management Information Systems launched by the
Ministry of Education's Department of School Education and Literacy, involving
more than 14.89 lac schools, 95 lac instructors, and 26.5 crore children.
Since
2018-19, the entire system has been operational and collecting data in real
time. UDISE+ has a mandate of collecting information from all recognized
schools imparting formal education from Pre-primary to class XII. Information
collected through the digital platform, UDISE+ is utilized for planning,
optimizing resource allocation and implementing various education-related
programs and assessing progress. Unified
District Information System for Education UDISE+ provides a
platform to organize and classify all school data across the country and build
a credible database of school data. It monitors, measures, and tracks key
performance indicators related to school performance. Consider visiting our
