Adesso Switzerland realizes portal for Federal Statistical Office
Adesso Switzerland is developing a portal for the Federal Statistical Office FSO to collect statistics in the education sector. This includes statistics on learners, school staff and educational qualifications. The IT service provider Adesso won a WTO tender against eleven competitors.
Numerous education reforms - such as HarmoS - are evidence of the upheaval in the Swiss education system, according to an Adesso press release. In order to be able to present the education system with reliable and consistent information in the future, the Federal Statistical Office FSO is carrying out a comprehensive modernization of education surveys. This includes the statistics programme "Modernization of education surveys". This provides a comprehensive description of the education system at all levels - from pre-school to higher vocational education and training.
Learners and teachers must be presented just as well as the financing of the education sector, the communication continues. This is the only way for political authorities to gain an accurate picture of the state and development of the education sector. Whereas in the past people were recorded using aggregated data, in future data sets will be provided in the form of individual data. This means that each person will be recorded individually. The data records will also be provided with common personal identifiers, making them comparable.
The application portal will be implemented in three stages: The statistics on learners will be completed at the end of March 2010, the statistics on school staff at the end of May 2010 and the statistics on educational qualifications at the end of 2010.
