Challenging Demographics and the Sisra Analytics Solution
Headteacher Peter, a seasoned educator, recalls the school's success with Sisra Analytics over the past few years. The tool's introduction marked a turning point for the school, particularly during a year fraught with the hurdles of constructing a new institution and grappling with complex student demographics.
Sisra Analytics emerged as the "go-to platform," offering a user-friendly interface that allowed for a meticulous evaluation of student performance. It empowered teachers to identify underperforming groups early, like boys who were lagging, and to implement targeted interventions to support their progress.
"It became our go-to kind of platform to use," Peter says. "It was able to foster the culture... Look, all this hard work, all this effort. Look, we're all pulling together. We are delivering fantastic results."
