Conclusion
The four main pillars---facts, data, information, and information quality---are inseparable foundations in building an educational information system. Facts provide an objective empirical basis, data represent raw reality, information transforms data into meaningful knowledge, while information quality ensures reliability and usefulness for decision-makers.
In practice, managing educational information systems does face challenges, ranging from limited infrastructure and lack of integration between divisions to low levels of digital literacy. However, with proper understanding and collective commitment, these obstacles can be overcome.
Awareness of managing facts, data, and information wisely will lead education toward more transparent, accountable, and responsive governance. Thus, information systems will not merely serve as administrative tools but as drivers of educational quality improvement.
Education grounded in quality information systems will not only be able to meet current needs but also prepare future generations to face the complexities of the world.
