Education Management Information Systems Officer

UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, is a specialized agency dedicated to strengthening international cooperation in the fields of education, science, culture, and information. UNESCO set standards, produce tools and develop knowledge to create solutions to some of the greatest challenges of our time, and foster a world of greater equality and peace. Protecting biodiversity, responding to artificial intelligence, advancing quality education, safeguarding heritage, and ensuring access to reliable information are some examples of the work that UNESCO does with its 194 Member States across the globe. UNESCO aims to strengthen peace and security by encouraging collaboration among nations in education, science, culture, and communication. Its mission emphasizes the development of universal respect for justice, human rights, and fundamental freedoms for all people, without distinction of race, sex, language, or religion. The organization achieves this by promoting mutual knowledge and understanding, supporting educational development, protecting cultural heritage, and facilitating the free flow of ideas and information across borders.

Class Map is currently being utilised by over 250 non-state schools across 12 states and regions in Myanmar. The app functions as a simplified EMIS, enabling schools to record daily attendance, develop school improvement plans, and report on emergencies. A recent review of the application identified the need for further enhancements to improve functionality, user experience, data quality, and reporting features, as well as strengthened user support during scale-up. The UNV will contribute to addressing these gaps by supporting system refinements, coordinating with technical partners, and assisting with the effective rollout and adoption of ClassMap in target schools.
