Abstract | A description of the state of the art regarding Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Education Information, with special emphasis on computer assisted information, is provided. A survey of BIA Central Office was conducted to: determine the total scope of Education Information currently being reported; identify the methods being used in developing the information; determine those developments that will add to and/or replace existing information; and provide an analysis of Education Information with recommendations. The existing situation was divided into three groups of systems: Education Information System, extant sub-systems created and maintained by administration, and extant sub-systems within education. Together these totaled 30 sub-systems. As a result of the survey, the BIA's computer modernization program was begun. An Education Information System was proposed. The proposed Education Information System is composed of 6 Information Categories and 23 sub-systems. The six Information Categories are: School Operations, Facilities, Public School Assistance, Career Development, Education Research and Evaluation, and Building Maintenance. Although the Bureau's computer modernization program is having some frustrating moments for Fiscal Year 1976, there is spontaneous support throughout BIA, at all levels, for modernization. Significant efforts exist at the Area Office Level of operation. (NQ) |
