The TEDGlobal 2012, conference was of great significance to the World of Education as Andreas Schleicher – A German statistician and researcher in the field of education introduced the PISA (Program for International Student Assessment) test. PISA assesses student’s understanding (Mathematical, Scientific and Reading skills) and their ability to apply the concepts in day-to-day life. The results of PISA findings were quite alarming – Shanghai topped the chart with Serbia at the bare bottom in terms of Student’s reading performance.
Also if one would notice from the above chart countries that follow similar organizational models of education; For instance countries in Europe had different scores!!! The primary and lower secondary education of Europe falls under International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) Level 1 or 2 – 2010/2011

Education industry is one sector where information is collected in an organized manner this makes application of analytics all the more easier but the challenge is how the intelligence is transformed into implementation. For education analytics to bring in transformation data awareness needs to be created at institutional and board levels.
As with any analytics process the key steps are:- 1) Data Collection, 2) Analytical Analysis 3) Model creation with key data factors. However the first two steps are at an institutional level while the third step needs to be institutionalized at an education board level
Data Collection – Institutional Level
For a transformative analytics program, the data elements captured should be beyond those that are in a student report card. The below figure is a representation of the different data elements that are critical for an education analytics initiative:
As depicted in the above illustration it is important to collect data elements from different perspectives:
Analytical Analysis – Institutional Level
Analytics on a broader scale is all about reporting (rear-view), predicting (forward) and prescriptive (suggestive). However when applied to the field of education there are three main categories – Academic, Learning, Predictive Analytics.
Application of these different levels of Analytics is indispensible to get a larger picture of the problem/opportunities in place.
Model Creation with Key Data Factors – Educational Board Level
The ideal state of education analytics is not merely to gather data and analyze history, but build a model that will elevate the state of education. This is possible only when the data elements that are collected at an institutional level are analyzed at a board level so that a boarded picture of the system is obtained, the below image summarizes this approach:
The model will have a profile (e.g. size of classroom, teacher qualification and salary, profile of parents etc..) of successful education systems/institutes published and recommended for adoption by other institutes thereby enabling a cohesive educational ecosystem.
