Education Personnel Management Information System (EPMIS) – Transforming Teacher Data
Overview
TRCOMS Ltd, a UK-based software development and digital consultancy, partnered with a leading public sector consultancy and an education authority to deliver the Education Personnel Management Information System (EPMIS).
The EPMIS platform is a centralised teacher data management and analytics system designed to capture, validate, and analyse information on more than 10,000 teachers and non-academic staff across an entire education system. The initiative is driving reform through real-time data, smart deployment, and evidence-based policy decisions.
Challenges
Before EPMIS, the education system lacked a comprehensive teacher database. Records were scattered, outdated, or missing, which led to:
- Inefficient teacher deployment across regions.
- No visibility into training history or professional development needs.
- Limited engagement channels for teachers and non-academic staff.
- Weak data for education planning and policy-making.
Education leaders required a scalable, secure, and accessible platform to centralise teacher data and support workforce reforms.
Solution
As the technical partner, TRCOMS designed and implemented the full EPMIS digital platform and data analytics engine, delivering:
Web-Based Teacher Registration Portal – Secure, mobile-friendly system for teachers to self-register and update details.
Centralised Education Data Platform – A single, reliable source of truth for all teacher and staff records.
Teacher Audit Tools – Structured workflows to support large-scale census and data validation.
Data Analytics & Reporting Dashboards – Real-time insights to optimise teacher deployment and training.
Data Integrity & Security Mechanisms – Built-in validation, duplicate detection, and role-based access controls.
The system was designed with low-bandwidth optimisation, ensuring accessibility even in areas with limited connectivity.
Implementation
- System Development – Designed and deployed the EPMIS platform with scalable database architecture.
- Statewide Data Collection – Supported onboarding of 10,000+ teachers and staff through group heads and school administrators.
- Awareness & Engagement – Integrated radio, social media, and WhatsApp campaigns to drive registrations.
- Data Validation & Analytics – Delivered dashboards and reports for continuous policy monitoring and workforce planning.
Results and Impact
EPMIS is now transforming how the government manages its education workforce:
- Accurate Teacher Deployment – Reducing shortages in underserved LGAs.
- Data-Driven Policy Making – Real-time insights improve resource allocation.
- Professional Development Planning – Clear visibility of training gaps and certification needs.
- Teacher Engagement – Digital platform for ongoing updates and feedback.
By leveraging education technology and data analytics, the State now has a strong foundation for sustainable education reform.
