Background
The Indonesian Ministry of National Education Pusat Statistik Pendidikan (PSP) is undertaking further development of its National Educational Management Information System (EMIS) through a transformation from an annual statistical census to a management and decision support instrument within an eGovernment portal framework that ensures better integration of users, services and information to all possible stakeholders accessing a range of applications, structured and unstructured content. A number of major changes will be introduced into the system, including the development of district and provincial applications within an integrated national framework, an expanded database to serve a wider range of stakeholders, flexible multi-layer information systems at each level, replacement of census methods with multimode data linkages with schools (including school SMIS), data warehousing and mining solutions at central level, graduated levels of software and technology, integration of a national GIS, integration with provincial and central websites, and the development of a solid base of local support for system development through a participatory approach to content identification and management integration.
An important part of this overall development is the redevelopment of the PSP National EMIS to cater for the PSP and Stakeholders requirements using a formal development methodology within a J2EE and Portal framework. The Software Application Designer is a national position who will participate in the detailed design of the national EMIS based on user requirements established by the BEP Pillar3 team and leading a team of J2EE programmers to code, test, document, train users, and then support the new national EMIS through its many releases.
