Filling students' Bio Data on NEMIS; How to complete the new students and 2020 form ones' admission process by updating their Bio data on NEMIS
The admission process of the 2020 form ones shall be considered complete once their Bio Data has been updated on the National Education management Information System, NEMIS. Once the learner is admitted (See the admission procedure here: NEMIS guide on how to admit new students/ form ones), you will have to then update their details on the NEMIS. The Ministry of Education requires schools to update the Bio data for students in order to:
  1. Enable registration of the learner for the National Hospital Insurance Fund, NHIF, services.
  2. Facilitate disbursement of the Free Secondary Education, FSE, funds for the learner.
  3. Help the Ministry in tracking the learner.
