The Education Management Information System (EMIS)

Are you looking for the number of schools, learners and teachers in Namibia? Well, the Fifteenth School Day Reports as well as the Annual Education Census as produced by the Education Management Information System (EMIS) division within the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture is available to the public via our website or on request.

EMIS is the primary national process for timely collection, analysis and reporting of reliable information concerning schools in Namibia. Education regions collect data twice a year from all state and private schools in Namibia and publish two reports which enable education planners to develop plans responsive to the context-specific needs of children. The reports are key tools the Ministry uses to drive improved service delivery in basic education.

The Annual Education Census (AEC) is a comprehensive survey of education data in state and private schools in Namibia. The AEC is usually conducted on the first Tuesday of the last trimester of the school year. The Fifteenth School Day Survey (15SDS) features the most crucial information about the number of schools, learners, and teachers in Namibia as recorded on the 15th school day at the beginning of every year.
