Education Analytics: Why schools should care about Business Intelligence

Primary and secondary education is becoming increasingly demanding – both in terms of running schools as a business and providing the resources to educate young minds.

School administrators and boards are often expected to do more with less; with funding tied to fees charged, academic results, student population size, class sizes, average daily attendance, extended program offerings (languages, music, fine arts, sporting, etc) and a range of other measures that detail overall school performance.

The ability of schools to attract new students and satisfy parents, governance groups, education ministries and government regulations is getting tougher each year.

Schools have long been required to produce reporting to stakeholders. And, with progressively tougher operating conditions, it’s an activity that takes significant time and uses substantial administrative resources.

But, schools have the opportunity to reduce this burden and even expand operational insights capable of improving business function and academic performance. How? By directing the high volume of data collected naturally into a Business Intelligence (BI) system that is priced and scaled to address school-level reporting requirements.
