Teachers ask Education Ministry to extend NEMIS Learner Registration deadline

Teachers ask Education Ministry to extend NEMIS Learner Registration deadline

Educators from all over the nation are now urging the Ministry of Education to postpone the deadline for registering learners under the National Education Management Information System (Nemis).

They mentioned that this request stems from the continuous malfunctions of the system. The deadline, which expired at midnight on Easter Monday, left numerous schools unable to finalize the process due to ongoing technical difficulties.

This situation has also brought together members of the Kenya Primary Schools Heads Association (Kepsha) and the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut), who both share their dissatisfaction with the ‘inept’ Nemis portal, which has frequently ‘experienced downtime in the past two weeks’.

According to Kepsha’s national chairperson, Fuad Ali, numerous headteachers were unable to input any information as the system crashed multiple times or failed to load.

That system urgently requires an upgrade because much of its data is used to inform capitation funding for the upcoming school term.

Not registering will result in many schools being underfunded by the government.

He appealed to the ministry to provide the schools with an additional day or two to complete the registration process.

It is intended to supplant Nemis, which, since 2017, has been digitizing data in public and private primary schools in the nation and assigns every learner a distinctive personal identifier to monitor the learner’s academic journey.

However, due to access problems and delays in providing login credentials to headteachers, this has resulted in ineffectiveness within the system.

Knut Secretary General Cohin Oyuu reiterated the demands for an extension, stating that the technical difficulties should not prevent learners from being registered.

He cautioned that not appearing in the Nemis database would hinder children’s access to learning resources and financial aid.

This poses a challenge in the registration process for young children, whose parents lack copies of their birth certificates, which are necessary for generating a UPI.

This is quite prevalent in children who have been placed to be cared for by guardians or grandparents.

Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogambo highlighted during a recent visit to Bomet County that planning and resource distribution would heavily depend on the data produced through Nemis.

The deficiencies of Nemis are indeed causing significant distress for many educators. The ministry will likely need to address this issue as an urgent priority.

Mistake leads to loss of form one data on Nemis

Leave a comment

Data for some form ones on the National Education Management Information System, Nemis, has been erased by mistake. This is after a technical hitch was experienced at the portal that stores all primary school and secondary school learners’ information, in Kenya. The erasure does not only affect the 2020 form ones but also new comers in some schools.

“We had registered over 200 students on the system. But, the system shows that we now have zero form ones. Uploading data into this system was a herculean task. We had to trans night so as to beat set deadlines,” says a teacher whose school’s Nemis data had been deleted.

The ministry officials had promised to sort out the mess by Monday.

The government uses the crucial data on Nemis to disburse fees capitation for learners in all public schools. The data is also used for the medical insurance scheme for learners that is provided by the National Hospital Insurance Fund, NHIF. Further, details on Nemis are used to identify participants during co-curricular activities championships.

It is a mandatory requirement that all learners be captured on Nemis. But, in some cases the process of enlisting the learners has been hampered by lack of birth certificates for some of them. Those seeking transfers away from their current schools must get approval through a process that encompasses use of the system.
