In order to meet these needs, a joint venture comprised of Ayesa and Datrik developed HipatIA, a tool that provides predictive information as well as data analysis and processing through AI.
The project, financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), has essentially harnessed the power of predictive modelling to improve the services offered by Andalusia’s Ministry of Education and Vocational Training.
HipatIA is a continuation of the Séneca application, created by the Regional Government of Andalusia and Ayesa. Its purpose was to allow schools as well as educational support services, inspections, programmes and activities in Andalusia to be effectively managed. In fact, the data used by HipatIA to model the various processes has come from Séneca.
The solution, which has been a resounding success, has developed a number of models able to predict key aspects of educational management. These include the number of teaching staff required at schools, the number of pupils in each year, the likelihood of students dropping out, and the trajectories of pupils. As a result, Andalusia is now able to manage its educational services and resources much more effectively and efficiently.
