UNICEF Bangladesh partnered with Riseup Labs to enhance the Real-Time Monitoring (RTM) system of the Bureau of Non-Formal Education (BNFE) by developing the IVA Validation System. This addition aimed to improve data analysis efficiency, enable real-time reactions, and track learning center operations and learner participation in the Out-of-School Children (OoSC) education program, which would ultimately prevent potential issues. This case study explores how Riseup Labs successfully developed the IVA Validation System for BNFE which is supported by UNICEF Bangladesh.

Objectives of Developing the IVA Validation System

UNICEF Bangladesh recognized the need for a transformative solution to enhance the Bureau of Non-Formal Education’s (BNFE) RTM system. To address the evolving challenges in managing the Out-of-School Children (OoSC) education program, they partnered with Riseup Labs to develop an IVA Validation System.

The primary objectives of the IVA Validation System project were to:

  • Efficient Data Analysis: Enable BNFE to analyze data more efficiently for informed decision-making.
  • Real-Time Reactions: Facilitate immediate responses by providing real-time insights into learning center operations.
  • Learner Participation Tracking: Implement a system to track learner participation in the OoSC education program.
  • Proactive Issue Prevention: Identify and address potential problems before they escalate through continuous monitoring.

Problems Faced by BNFE

UNICEF Bangladesh and Riseup Labs joined hands to enhance the monitoring capabilities of the Out-of-School Children (OoSC) education program for BNFE because it faced some problems that demanded ingenious solutions. Let’s explore the problems faced by BNFE before developing the IVA Validation System.

  • Data Transfer from EU Server: Collecting center, student, and teacher data from the EU (European Union) server to BNFE’s server
  • Validating Center Visits: Ensuring the validation of actual center visits by ground members
  • Offline Data Updates: Updating offline data to the server whenever the device is connected to the network

Our Challenges

In the process of integrating validation and monitoring modules into the Bureau of Non-Formal Education’s (BNFE) Real-Time Monitoring (RTM) system, Riseup Labs faced some complicated challenges. These challenges explain both technical and operational complications. The following are the challenges that provide insights into the strategic decisions and innovative solutions employed to overcome them.

  • Seamless Data Transfer: Instantly ensuring seamless data transfer from mobile devices to the backend.
  • Timely Data Transfer: Accurately transferring data within 2/3 seconds whenever the app gets online.
  • Time-Consuming Report Generation: Developing a report generation system Report generation system needs to be time-consuming.

Our Solutions

Riseup Labs made several innovative solutions while developing the IVA Validation System to overcome the challenges. By exploring these solutions, you will gain insights into the meticulous design and strategic thinking culminating in a sophisticated system poised to empower BNFE’s educational monitoring endeavors. Riseup Labs’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of technological innovation is evident in the solutions presented, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of educational monitoring systems.

Riseup Labs made the following solutions to overcome the challenges:

Responsive Admin Panel

Riseup Labs has created a responsive admin panel where the app is connected through API. All the data generated by the app is instantly shared with the admin panel.

Offline Functionality

Riseup Labs has added offline functionality to complete the form smoothly. If the user has no internet on their device, they can fill out the form offline by downloading the validation form.

Multiple Reporting Formats

Introduced 11 reporting formats; After validation of the center and submission of the form properly, those data will automatically be populated to the report. Later, the user can download or print it from the system easily.

Benefits BNFE Received

As UNICEF Bangladesh, the BNFE, and Riseup Labs collaboratively embarked on the journey to enhance the Real-Time Monitoring (RTM) system with the validation and monitoring module, their efforts resulted in a system with transformative benefits. Let’s explore the benefits that are poised to shape the future of educational monitoring.

  • Real-Time Insights: Access to real-time data for improved decision-making
  • Offline Data Collection: Seamless data collection even in offline mode, enhancing flexibility
  • Efficient Report Generation: Streamlined report generation saves time and enhances productivity
