Every school, every student, every teacher — one trusted national record, kept up to date by the people closest to it and visible to the planners who need it.
By school, year level, gender and district — not from a census compiled years ago.
What are they teaching, where are the gaps, and is deployment fair?
And which schools need follow-up before a missed week becomes a lost year?
Which students are behind in literacy and numeracy — and is it improving?
Today, none of these questions has a reliable answer for Bougainville — and every target in an education strategic plan depends on being able to answer them. A plan written alongside its data foundation can set baselines and targets from day one, instead of discovering in year three that its goals cannot be measured.
One platform, in the browser, on any device. The same student record a teacher updates in the morning is part of the Ministry's national picture by the afternoon.
Enrolment, class placement and complete history travel with the student from elementary through secondary.
A teacher marks their class on a phone in under two minutes. What was a paper register seen by nobody becomes a live national dataset.
Every child is assessed at the beginning and end of term, so growth — not just level — is measured. Analysis generates at the click of a button.
Qualifications, roles, appointment history and transfers for every teacher — supporting fair, evidence-based deployment across all three regions.
Enrolment ratios, gender parity and pupil–teacher ratios computed live from real data, aligned to SDG 4 — with one-click Excel and PDF exports for partner reporting.
Runs in the browser on phones, tablets and laptops. Designed for low bandwidth, with offline Excel templates so schools without reliable internet still contribute clean data.
The system behind BEMIS operates today as the national education platform of a Pacific island nation — every government school, early childhood through secondary, across nine remote islands. If it works there, it works anywhere in the Pacific. And the hardest part of any system is not the software — it is whether teachers use it. In recent national teacher training:
In teachers' own words: it keeps all the information in one place, and makes work easier for the school and the ministry.
None of this requires a large programme to begin. Each phase delivers something useful on its own — and builds the case for the next.
Audit what data exists today, agree a national school list, and workshop the questions the system must answer.
A school census establishing the core student and teacher registers — the most valuable dataset an education ministry can own.
Attendance and assessment in a pilot group of schools, with hands-on training for teachers and officials.
A national dashboard feeding the strategic plan's monitoring framework and partner reporting.
Role-based access, encrypted connections and full audit trails — clear governance for children's records from day one.
National data stays under national control, on hosting sized to real budgets and real connectivity.
Training and workshops at every level, so the system is run and owned by Bougainvilleans.
Designed to integrate with health, statistics and finance systems — a shared national register, not another silo.
The BEMIS demonstration runs at full national scale with fictional schools, students and staff. Explore the real workflows on any device — or book a walkthrough and we'll guide you through it live.
