The best defence against malfeasance are reliable facts and figures. An effectively functioning Education Management Information System can highlight malpractices related to anything from local record keeping, teacher salaries, building new schools, and educational indicators. The cost of setting up such a system will be justified by the easily quantifiable benefits it can provide.
