INTRODUCTION

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 Education, Citizenship and Youth (ECY) 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 and 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. ECY 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 (grade 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 ECY. In small divisions, the division office may enter school information directly into EIS Collection for each of its schools. The division also provides staff employment information to ECY.

NOTE: All files submitted to Manitoba Education should be encrypted (or secured) using EIS Collection exports.

BEF K-8 Classroom: contains the number of students and their courses for each of the Français and French Immersion language programs. This file is submitted to the department each October from the school division office. There are now two import layouts. The original layout has not changed since 2002; the updated layout mirrors the TPP Activity layout.

Student Course Registration: contains the courses grade 9 to 12 students are registered in on September 30. This file is submitted to the department each October from the school division office.

Student Enrolment: contains the student enrolment information as of September 30 used for grants and funding. This file is submitted to the department each October from the school division office.

Student Marks: contains the final subject marks achieved by every grade 9 to 12 student (including failures) during the school year. It is submitted to the department from the school division office by September for the previous academic year.

Student MET: contains the MET numbers for new students and student with name / birth date changes. It is sent to Division Offices and Independent School each spring.

DELIMITED FILE LAYOUTS

Comma delimited files are created by the generic export options.
EIS Collection exports date fields as DD/MMM/YYYY.
- Dates do not have quotes
- When creating an import file dates should use a three-letters or the full name for
  
  months (Jan. or January instead of 01) and a four-digit year (1999 instead of 99) to avoid date confusion during the import.
