What's the importance of Data Science?
When the subject isEducational Marketing, Data Science is essential for better results. Also known as Data Science, Data Science is a multidisciplinary process methodology that analyzes a large amount of data and predicts future results.

Strategic planning
Every organization, including educational ones, needs strategic planning supported by data. Knowing the scenario in which your educational institution is inserted, the profile of the students, the demands of the market, the sector trends that are taking shape, it is easier to think about the future and act from now on.
Questions such as: which courses to offer, number of vacancies, tuition fees, among others, are treated with precision, which is reflected in a better marketing performance of your Institution.
Educational policies
Information management in education also serves as a support for you to develop educational policies that are more in line with the reality of students.
The traditional classroom format, as well as the speaker-listener method, adopted in most educational institutions, no longer satisfies the needs of students.
It is necessary to insert technology as a differential element in classes, prepare teachers to deal with very different student profiles and also make the educational environment more interesting and welcoming.
In this sense, information management in education comes as an ally in mapping the profile of current students and teachers.
A detailed analysis of these data can give your educational institution a competitive edge, as through these data it is possible to develop current educational policies, aligned with the information society.
Institutional and academic performance
Another great contribution of information management in education is the evaluation of institutional and academic performance. Here, we can consider the development of students, teachers and the institution itself.
With regard to the institution, management systems allow the evaluation of organizational performance indicators, such as: quality index, student satisfaction, number of enrolled x number of graduates, among others.
It is also up to your educational institution to monitor the performance of professors and technical-administrative staff, which can also be done through management systems developed for this purpose.
Finally, we can apply the same technologies in the evaluation of student performance, in order to improve teaching-learning methodologies.
Decision making
To conclude our conversation today, it is worth noting that information management technologies in education are essential for decision-making. Surely you have heard about Data Driven Marketing, or Data Oriented Marketing.
If you need to adjust your strategies, just make the decision, after all, the information is there, detailed for you.
