EduLedga DNEMIS: your school's records, ready for government reporting.
Census day shouldn't mean rebuilding your school from paper.
When the LGEA asks for enrolment by class and sex, teacher numbers, classrooms and toilets, many schools go back to registers and staff files and count by hand. With EduLedga, the records are already there, kept up to date by the people who use them every day.
The names, in plain English.
EMIS
Education Management Information System: the general name for how education data is collected.
ASC
The Annual School Census, the yearly count of schools, learners, staff and facilities.
LGEA
Your Local Government Education Authority, often your first contact for the census.
State EMIS and SUBEB
The EMIS unit in your State Ministry of Education and the State Universal Basic Education Board, which check and approve census returns.
NEMIS and DNEMIS
NEMIS is the Federal Ministry of Education's National Education Management Information System. DNEMIS is its digital platform at emis.education.gov.ng.
Your School Designated EMIS Officer completes the census and sends it to the LGEA. The LGEA checks it and passes it to the State EMIS unit or SUBEB, which approves it for the national figures. The exact forms and dates are set by your state, so check with your LGEA.

Census Readiness Report (Available now)
A school's census figures (enrolment by class, level and sex; staff by qualification, sex and TRCN status; classrooms, toilets, seating and facilities) are checked for gaps and laid out ready for your EMIS officer, with Excel and PDF exports and sign-off.
Direct submission (On our roadmap)
Sending your census return directly to DNEMIS or your state EMIS. Nothing is submitted until NEMIS (or your state) authorises it in writing, and then only when your school tells us to.
You decide what leaves your school.
Your school is the data controller for its records, and EduLedga is its processor under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA). We share data with authorities only when your school instructs us to, or when the law requires it.
