No Code Data Quality Management for Education Institutes

INEFFICIENT TIMETABLING

As we all know, schools and colleges rely on timetables. They help students understand when to attend classes. They also assist faculty members in preparing their lesson plans ahead of time.

Without an efficient timetable system, schools could fall behind in various ways. Studies show that, while timetabling appears to be becoming more flexible around student needs, the process is increasingly complex. This means that schools and colleges are struggling to manage an increasingly tricky data planning situation.

Therefore, it is only reasonable that admissions admins look for tools to help manage their wider school. Simple calendar programs may no longer be enough. With thousands of students and only a handful of faculty members to account for, data management and logistics support is necessary. Equations like these are not always so easy to manage with a simple timesheet alone!​

MASTER RECORD DIFFICULTIES

Creating a single, unified “master record” for every student in the US is a complex challenge. Different schools and organizations use various data collection methods and systems, making it difficult to ensure all information is consistent and transferable. This lack of uniformity creates problems when student records need to be transferred, for example, from high school to college.

There might not be a one-size-fits-all solution to achieve a perfect national master record system. However, schools and colleges can explore options like data cleaning and standardized storage solutions to improve data unification. Additionally, employing data managers who can work with third-party programs could potentially act as a central hub for student information, allowing for easier export across different educational institutions. These improvements would go a long way in resolving the current nationwide master record issues.
