Open VEMIS - the vanuatu education planning toolbox

About Open VEMIS

Open VEMIS is the Vanuatu Education Management Information System.  Open refers to transparency.

The Ministry of Education and Training represents:

  1. 26% of National Budget and close to 30% of all national commitments and expenditure.
  2. 50% of the public servants.
  3. Open VEMIS will record information on 1/3 of the Vanuatu population.

Open VEMIS is an initiative of the Vanuatu Ministry of Education and Training. It has grown substantially between 2017 and 2018, providing planning and management tools for the ministry at the central and provincial offices, schools, regional offices, and communities.

Open VEMIS uses a simplified architecture to enhance scalability and reliability and allow technology sharing with other Pacific Island Countries. For this reason, it does not require a mobile app and it works on standard phone browsers without requiring iPhone and Android apps.
