The Role of Educational Management Information Systems in Improving School Operational Efficiency

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Education Management Information System (SIMP) and the Regional Education Management Information System (SIMPeD) in improving school operational efficiency. This system allows the integration of various administrative processes, such as financial management, student data, and academic processes, which can reduce administrative burdens, accelerate decision-making, and optimize resource allocation. SIMP and SIMPeD also increase transparency and accountability in the relationship between schools, students, and parents, as well as facilitate communication and improve the overall quality of education. However, the implementation of this system also faces significant challenges, such as high costs, limited technological infrastructure, training issues, and data security and privacy. This study uses a literature study approach to analyze the role of SIMP and SIMPeD in improving school operational efficiency by summarizing theories, concepts, and previous research findings. It is hoped that the results of this study can provide insight into the importance of SIMP in supporting school operational efficiency and contribute to the development of technology-based education policies in the future.
