The National Education Management Information System (NEMIS) plays a crucial role in Kenyan education, serving as a central hub for data management and information sharing.
Whether you’re a student, parent, teacher, or institution administrator, understanding NEMIS is essential. This guide tackles common questions about accessing the portal, registering, obtaining your UPI number, and understanding the necessary requirements.
Logging In:
- Existing Users: Visit the official NEMIS website (http://nemis.education.go.ke/) and select your identity (learner, staff, institution). Enter your NEMIS number and password to log in.
- New Users: You cannot directly create a student or staff account. Institutions register learners and staff, so contact your school administration for assistance.
Registration:
- Institutions: If your school isn’t yet registered, head to the “Institutions Module” after logging in and select “Institutional Registration.” Fill out the form and submit it. You’ll receive a UPI number for your institution.
- Learners and Staff: Schools handle your registration within NEMIS. Provide them with the necessary documents (e.g., birth certificate, ID card) to complete the process.
Understanding UPI Numbers:
- Unique Personal Identifier (UPI): This number identifies individual learners and staff within NEMIS.
- Finding Your UPI:
- Learners: Contact your school administration. They can access your UPI through the system.
- Staff: You’ll receive your UPI after registration through your school.
- Institutions: Your UPI is displayed on your dashboard after successful registration.
Requirements:
- Learners: Birth certificate (or alternative government-issued ID for over 18s).
- Staff: National ID card or passport.
- Institutions: Registration documents as prescribed by the Ministry of Education.
