It includes the georeferencing of educational centers and allows citizens to search for them using different criteria.
The SIGES consultancy consisted of building an information system that centralizes student data at the national level and includes information on students from Early Childhood Education to Secondary Education in its various service modalities. This system was developed by the Ministry of Education of El Salvador and benefits both the educational community and the general public.
SIGES is composed of 8 interoperable modules: Students, Educational Centers, Educational Site Staff, School Documentation, Educational Statistics, Integrated Systems, School Finances, and Management Information System.
Additionally, tools were developed and implemented to benefit the national education system, including:
- Launch of 2 mobile applications (for teachers and family guardians)
- Enablement of online procedures
- Incorporation of 4 Public Portals (Educational Sites Portal, Educational Sites Map, Open Data Portal, and Educational Statistics Portal)
- Incorporation of verifiable QR codes for Secondary Education diplomas.
- Incorporation of Simple Electronic Signature.
The system has implemented interoperability mechanisms through Tenoli (the interoperability solution based on X-Road).
