  • collection, storage and automated processing of education statistics for the allocation of educational subvention funds (including for colleges, to cover the cost of completing general secondary education);
  • keeping records of children of preschool and school-age (functioning of digital service of enrollment, exclusion and transfer of students to state and municipal educational institutions for completing general secondary education);
  • drawing up a list of textbooks selected by educational institutions for their further distribution and delivery to educational institutions;
  • keeping records of preschool educational institutions (functioning of the digital registration service for preschool educational institutions);
  • maintaining electronic class journals and diaries (E-Journal) and electronic document management;
  • financial reporting by educational institutions;
  • keeping records of the out-of-school educational institutions (operation of an electronic out-of-school enrolment service);
  • advanced training of pedagogical staff;
  • keeping records of students, trainees and teachers;
  • logistical support for vocational (vocational and technical) education institutions.

The SHC “AICEM” generates statistics within the education system, and provides its monitoring through a multifaceted structure, including the technological and institutional framework for data gathering, processing and dissemination. The strategic objective of AICEM is to provide information support for management decisions to improve the quality of education, manage funds and monitor cost-effectiveness, and improve the competitiveness of educational institutions in general.
