• It is on the heels of the foregoing that a State-Wide Education Management Information System (SwEMiS) was developed to make for easy management of the education system.
• SwEMiSis an information management system that enables State Ministries of Education and other relevant stakeholders find a onestop-shop for all relevant administrative activities as it relates to schools (both private and public) in all LGAs of the State.
