ABOUT EIS

What is EIS?
The Educational Information System (EIS) provides an integrated database designed to facilitate departmental, divisional and school-based planning and decision making, and enhance the accountability of the educational system to students, parents and the community. The mandate of EIS is: to improve the way education information is collected, stored, accessed and analyzed to facilitate the collection of additional information necessary for analyzing program effectiveness

What Is EIS Collection?
EIS Collection is a data collection tool developed by Manitoba Education, Citizenship & Youth for use in Manitoba schools and divisions. A data collection tool is not school administration software, but can be used with other software packages to collect specific types of data for reporting to Manitoba Education, Citizenship & Youth.
EIS Collection can be used in both school and division offices. Information collected using EIS Collection at the school is sent to the division office. These files are imported into EIS Collection at the division office and combined into a division file. Manitoba Education, Citizenship & Youth collects information from the division to ensure consistency of information from the school through the division office to the department.

How do Schools use EIS Collection?
Schools using administrative software applications can export the required information from these packages into EIS Collection, where it will be checked and validated for departmental requirements. Information can also be directly entered into EIS Collection to create a data file for export to divisions. Information provided by the school includes student enrolment, student marks (grades 9 to 12 only) and teacher activities.

How do Divisions use EIS Collection?
Division offices use EIS Collection to combine information from their schools and send division data to Manitoba Education, Citizenship & Youth. In small divisions, the division office may enter school information directly into EIS Collection for each of its schools. The division also provides staff update information.

EIS Help Desk
A Help Desk has been implemented to handle EIS Collection technical questions. The aim in implementing the help desk is to provide more expedient service aiding in the backlog of calls that can result during peak EIS Collection usage times. The phone numbers are 926-3443 for Winnipeg and surrounding area and toll-free 1-877-926-3443 for rural Manitoba. All EIS Collection questions should be directed to the Help Desk.
