Kenya to harmonize education sector data through Maisha Namba ID integration
Kenya will pilot the Kenya Education Management Information System (KEMIS) in July, which integrates the national digital ID, Maisha Namba, with education data from early childhood to university.
It will also be linked to birth and death registration, tracking a learner's record through their life.
The government claims it will improve accuracy, efficiency, and inclusivity while supporting mobile access to academic services, as well as ensuring that the government has statistics on the distribution of teachers, books, and other resources.
