How to choose the best Learning Management System for the Rastrapati Saichik Sudhar Karyakram

28 March 2023

In conjunction with the Centre for Education and Human Resource Development (CEHRD), the Nepalese government has begun the Rastrapati Saichik Sudhar Karyakram (RSSK) to bring about positive changes to the national education system. This project aims to provide much-needed technical assistance to government schools by providing the fund for various hardware and a learning management system to bring Nepali education up to date. The ever-evolving world of education has become highly digitized in the last decade, this ICT implementation project aims to provide Nepali schools with the means to stay globally competitive in the education market. 

Under the ICT implementation, selected government schools will receive the following:

An all-in-one computer

A multifunctional printer

An AVR system (Smart Board) and

A Learning Management System that has fulfilled all the requirements provided by the CEHRD. 

Many institutions are now actively engaged in the market to offer their Education Management services to eligible schools, making it hard for decision-makers to choose one that will fit their organization perfectly. Although there is a question of quality assurance that needs addressing, government requirements also need to be adhered to, making this task a complex one to carry out. This blog post aims to help identify all relevant factors that government schools need to be aware of when picking an LMS for their organization. 

The first order of business is to ensure that the LMS you are choosing to integrate fulfills all the requirements of the CEHRD. The CEHRD has listed all the required features that any software wishing to work via the RSSK needs to have. One should be aware of these requirements and confirm that these features are present. Many companies exhibit flashy aspects of their software to distract from the fact that they do not have all the crucial features the government has dictated. To make it easy, the features mentioned by the CEHRD are as follows:

• Question & Answer Platforms and E-Library with capabilities to host and give access to interminable audiovisual content and learning materials approved by the CDC.
• Capability to manage courses, syllabus, and worksheets for all K12 school classes.
• Lesson planning capabilities and resources with flip learning feature.
• Learning modules with auto-learning outcome evaluation.
• Objective exams with auto marking, immediate results generation, number marking, and grade point marking capabilities. 
• User Portals for all classifications of users with granular permission management.
• Accessibility through Web Browser, Android app, and IOS app.
• Performance Analysis Report-making capabilities. 
• Online Virtual classes with screen recording, ability to support smart board, and student/teacher chat functions. 
• Admission, Recruitment, and Leave Management Capabilities.
• Academic Calendar and Routine Management.
• Network-wide notice-sending capabilities.
• Attendance-taking and record-keeping.
• Absence notification to parents.

Once you have confirmed that these features are present in the Education Management Software of your choosing, the next step involves assuring that additional features are also present. These features enhance the Education Management System and involve aspects such as security, sharing, and quality assurances. In particular, the requirements ask for media-sharing capabilities but only after Administrative approval is given for the publishing of a post, media, or article. Furthermore, the software should be designed in a way that promotes article writing skill development. Advanced security to provide a safe and secure virtual learning environment and proper Teacher training are also crucial aspects.

Of the quality assurance criterion, the one that ought to be a priority is ISO certification. The government of Nepal has specifically mentioned that companies willing to participate in this program need to be ISO verified. Very few companies in the LMS market are officially recognized as ISO-certified companies and decision-makers should be aware of their legitimate status to avoid future repercussions. Additional quality assurance factors include user-friendliness and approval from the CDC or CEHRD. 

Even if all the aforementioned requirements are met, one crucial question remains: Will the chosen LMS apply to your school? Will the users adapt to the software quickly and with ease? Most LMS in the market are made for private institutions, they fail to take into account the circumstance of the stakeholders of a government school. Fancy and needlessly complex Learning Management Systems can often lead to trouble in transitioning and in the worst-case scenario; might end up being unused. Therefore, one should be wary of software that is being implemented mostly in private schools, as they are providing a service to a completely different demographic of users.
