In the local area, efforts are being made to improve education insights by connecting household and school data. Typically, household surveys and school records are collected separately, with little overlap between the two. Household surveys gather information from families about their children's education, including whether they are in school and the challenges they face.

On the other hand, school records track resources, teachers, and student enrollment. Further details on this initiative, known as MICS-EMIS Analysis, are available from the source, which outlines the process and lessons learned from its implementation in Fiji.
