Introduction to IEMIS-Disability Data Management System (DMS)

The Disability Data Management System (DMS) module is part of the Integrated Education Management Information System (IEMIS), designed to enhance the usage of education data management in schools across Nepal. The module was developed with the support of the USAID Early Grade Learning Program, aiming to improve the identification, support, and inclusion of students with disabilities.

This system streamlines the management of disability-related data, offering features that support early detection and individualized intervention for students with disabilities. DMS enables an organized, user-friendly approach to tracking impairments, referrals, and educational planning.
