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. 

Of all the options available to you, Imagine Inquiry Sys is the best LMS you can use for the Ratriya Saichik Sudhar Karyakram. Not only has Tech@art, the company that created the software, been vigilantly updating its software to incorporate all aspects demanded by the government, but also been consulting with all concerned governmental bodies to construct a system that is tailor-made for Nepali students and teachers. The ISO-certified company has also most recently been implemented on a governmental level by the CEHRD, displaying its ability to provide a nationwide software solution. No other LMS has considered the local socio-cultural aspects of Nepal and combined them with the international Digital Education 7 guidelines to provide Nepalese pupils and instructors a seamless transition from real-world classrooms to virtual classrooms.

Imagine Inquiry Sys is the all-in-one solution for education institutions to elevate the education methodology and pave the way towards digital education. It is designed to engage the tutor and student, and no expertise is required to accomplish a task quickly. Additionally, Imagine Sys is filled to the brim with tools that allow you to manage the administrative functions of schools.

The world is changing, and so are our schools. The internet has changed the landscape of education worldwide, and students today have more tools than ever to help them achieve their educational goals. Gone are the days when googling a topic was the pinnacle of internet implementation in education. These days schools employ the use of Learning and School Management Systems (LMS/SMS) to increase the potential of their students and provide them with modern learning materials that complement their lessons. These materials consist of features that make learning more interactive and engaging and improve the student's retention of the topic covered. However, the application of this LSM AND SMS software is not only related to students but has positive effects on teachers, parents, and the school administration.

The stakeholders of a school will miss out on features and services that are ubiquitous in today's market if you have not implemented Learning and School Management System. This software is vital to the value addition and growth of an educational institution. To compete in the neck-and-neck competitive education industry, features that improve quality of life should be incorporated to give your organization an edge. LMS/SMS is home to these features that make communication and information more accessible to all stakeholders and incorporating these modern facilities can make a marked improvement in your organization's image. 

If you are still unsure about what kind of benefits an organization can expect when using Education Management Software, here are ten reasons to incorporate them. 

1) Improves Convenience and Accessibility 

Mobile learning apps allow all users to access educational materials at any time. Students can conveniently look up their coursework, study materials, and assignments around the clock. Bedridden and ill students can catch up on coursework even when not physically present in the school, and lectures & tutorials can be revisited thanks to the recording functions. Distance learning is easily achieved through such features. 

2) Fosters Student Empowerment

Having 24-hour access to their coursework and learning materials allows students to approach their educational activities more flexibly. Online education platforms permit them to take active steps to improve their performances through a personalized learning approach. 

3) Develops Digital Literacy

Digital literacy and familiarity with using modern technology are essential skills nowadays. E-learning software helps develop digital competency and contributes to a well-rounded learning experience by having students perform daily school-related functions on an electronic device. Learning management systems increase their familiarity with current technology and make them more computer literate as they use them. 

4) Automizes Operations

School management software comes packed with multiple administrative features that help automize lengthy processes that require a lot of time and effort. Automating tasks such as attendance, sending notices, creating forms for, and keeping records of admissions and recruitments can help educational institutions be more concise with their daily operations. 

5) Provides Valuable Metrics

Learning analytics provided by student information systems within an Education Management system can provide valuable data related to student performance. This data can help identify learning or management issues faced by students, teachers, and administration and to plan steps to address them. 

6) Cost Reduction

The use of School Management Systems has proven to reduce costs. Paperless documentation can save organizations a significant amount of funds spent on paper, which tends to add up relatively quickly. The wasteful use of paper for nonessential documenting is a factor often overlooked, and digital documentation is an eco-friendly alternative to saving costs. School administration software helps transition into paperlessness by keeping an automated record of all digital documents for future reference. 

Additionally, the school management system can perform record keeping and record maintenance functions as well as any human resource, saving the organization's cost of hiring dedicated faculty for this purpose. 

All pertinent reading and study materials and textbooks can be found in the e-library of a school network, saving costs for students. 

7) Performance Tracking

E-learning software possesses components that allow student performance tracking in conjunction with assessment and evaluation tools, letting parents and teachers keep an accurate record of a student's progress. In today's fast-paced world, parents may not always have time to look over their child's shoulders while they study; education management apps allow parents to keep track of their children's performance at a tap of their phone whenever they can spare the time to do so. Additionally, the tracking reports can help teachers identify how and why a student may be falling behind, their strengths and weaknesses, and how to help better their achievements in class.

The performance tracking function is helpful in dynamic ways. Since it tracks student performance multi-dimensionally, it can represent all of their educational activities. Gone are the days when a piece of paper with the final marks represents a student's success. 

8) Enhances Communication

Implementing educational technology through the use of Learning Management System software provides various avenues for communicating. Chats, forums, and posts present opportunities to be in touch with several members of an educational community and foster an environment of collaboration and feedback. In particular, these online education platforms boost parent-teacher communication, which allows for a multi-dimensional learning scenario.

9) Improves Retention

Education software comes with features that make learning fun. Features like educational games and quizzes remove the stigma around studying and encourage students to participate in their learning actively. These tools improve students' interest in studying and promote communication. Research indicates that they improve performance significantly at all levels and increase participation. Lessons learned through these methods seem to be retained by students compared to traditional learning methods.

10) Increases Reach 

 The use of education management software and learning management systems can increase the reach of an educational institution to new heights. The use of education software has a noticeable increase in student intake without an increase in teaching facilities and faculty. The reach of the schools becomes global with a simple implementation through this kind of software. Students off on vacation can learn about news related to their school, keep in touch with their peers and even ask questions related to assignments to instructors.  

Imagine Inquiry Sys comes with a variety of tools that helps fulfill all of the functions mentioned above. Employing the CEHRD-approved software will help raise your school's educational and administrative operations to the next level. The multifaceted software is customizable and made with ease of use and usefulness in mind.
