Description
According to DSHE-MIS statistics, total number of government and non-government institutions in the country under DSHE is 30,712 (school 18,040, college 2741, Madrasa 9147 and schools & colleges 784) and the number and students are respectively 378,816 and 150,00,000. In order for having a more accurate data on numbers, locations, their availability and capacity of existing trained trainers, a Teacher Trainer Management Information System (TT-MIS) database needs to be designed to provide a simple web interface for entering and maintenance of information of teachers who have received Training of Trainers (ToT) or Master Trainer (MT) training in various fields and topics. The TT-MIS would captures all kinds of trainer details, such as personal data & academic records of teachers, ToT/MT course details, involvement in local training of teachers and other groups (Head Teachers/Principals, District Education Officers, Upazilla Secondary Education Officers, School Management Committees etc.), their placement details, trainer certifications, their involvement in projects or any other assignment and other relevant information. All this information will be made available through a secure, online web-enabled interface through DSHE EMIS website. Different reports and queries should be possible to generate based on different options, such as participation of ToT/MT based on topic, timing, geographical location (Boards), certification and even academic and administrative institutional information. The TTMIS can also be used by individual educational institutions to identify master trainers locally or regionally and contact them for their in-house training. The management of accurate, up-to-date teacher trainers' information is important for DSHE and to eventually make it available for all institutions that are involved in training of secondary and higher secondary level teachers and other relevant personnel.
