Information is a key resource in any planning activity. Planning in education, particularly inrnnon-formal education is not exception to this fact. Information in the educationalrnenvironment is needed for operation, control, pi arming, and management decision. Thernproper organization, processing, and dissemination of Non-Formal Education (NFE)rninformation have been proved important to render effective services for users.rnAmhara Education Bureau, in addition to the formal school system, has engaged in therncollection, processing, and dissemination of NFE information, for examples, informationrnabout clienteles enrolment, attendants, dropout, completed, facilitators/instructors andrnlearning centers situations, etc. starting from the grass root level.rnThis study attempts to assess the information requirements of educators on NFE forrnplanning and research activity. It also examines the major problems related to thernavailability, quality, and accessibility of NFE information, and tried to propose a data base basedrninformation system and design a prototype information system for NFE plmmingatrnAmhara National Regional State Education Bureau.rnAccording to the result of the study, NFE information is not easily available, and hencernavailability is the major problem identified during the survey and analysis of the study.rnBesides, even if, NFE data/information are available, there is high inconstancies and lack ofrnuniformity among the various reports coming from We red as and Zones education offices.rnThis has contributed to unsystematic organization of information and hinders accessibilityrnof data/information for users. For example, if one needs information aboutrnliterates illiterates he/she has to look all the sections in the organization.rnThus, based on the finding of the survey, a Non-Formal Education Database (NFEDB) hasrnbeen designed. An Object-oriented approach is used in the design and development of thernsystem. A prototype NFE database has been developed for selected part of the proposedrnsystem.
