Assessment Study of Open Data in Education for 2016
Automatically translated summary. The full text is available in Romanian.
The study “Assessment of Open Data Availability in Education 2016” is the third evaluation report, following those of 2014 and 2015. It covers changes recorded during the year, the implementation of earlier recommendations and new proposals, applying the World Bank's methodology for assessing government open data across eight dimensions.
The eight dimensions are leadership, the policy and legal framework, the institutional framework, responsibilities and staff skills, Ministry of Education data, demand for open data, the open data ecosystem, funding, and national ICT infrastructure and skills. Opening education data is a precondition for the social audit of schools. It supports communication and information, increases transparency in the allocation of public money and fosters healthy competition between educational institutions. The analysis finds that the current level of open data can meet the information needed for a social audit of schools, with certain constraints.
The study recommends developing an interface that lets users build tables for specific queries, similar to that of the National Bureau of Statistics; adding financial information obtainable from the Ministry of Finance; publishing evaluation reports and other monitoring documents on teaching and school operations, such as fire inspection reports; and making all information about a school accessible in one place. An interactive online monitoring application is available.
