Data Generation Methodology

This dataset was synthetically generated using:

  1. Reference Sources:

    • WAEC (West African Examinations Council) - exam results, pass rates, grade distributions
    • JAMB (Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board) - UTME scores, subject combinations
    • UBEC (Universal Basic Education Commission) - enrollment, infrastructure, teacher data
    • NBS (National Bureau of Statistics) - education surveys, literacy rates
    • UNESCO - Nigeria education statistics, enrollment ratios
    • UNICEF - Out-of-school children, gender parity indices

  2. Domain Constraints:

    • WAEC grading system (A1-F9) with official score ranges
    • JAMB UTME scoring (0-400 points, 4 subjects)
    • Nigerian curriculum structure (Primary, JSS, SSS)
    • Academic calendar (3 terms: Sep-Dec, Jan-Apr, May-Jul)
    • Regional disparities (North-South education gap)
    • Gender parity indices by region and level

  3. Quality Assurance:

    • Distribution testing (WAEC grade distributions match national patterns)
    • Correlation validation (attendance-performance, teacher quality-outcomes)
    • Causal consistency (educational outcome models)
    • Multi-scale coherence (student → school → state aggregations)
    • Ethical considerations (representative, unbiased, privacy-preserving)

See QUALITY_ASSURANCE.md in the repository for full methodology.

Use Cases

  • Machine Learning: Performance prediction, dropout forecasting, admission modeling, resource allocation
  • Policy Analysis: Education program evaluation, gender parity assessment, regional disparity studies
  • Research: Teacher effectiveness, infrastructure impact, exam performance patterns
  • Education Planning: School placement, teacher deployment, budget allocation

Limitations

  • Synthetic data: While grounded in real distributions from WAEC/JAMB/UBEC, individual records are not real observations
  • Simplified dynamics: Some complex interactions (e.g., peer effects, teacher-student matching) are simplified
  • Temporal scope: Covers 2022-2025; may not reflect longer-term trends or future policy changes
  • Spatial resolution: State/LGA level; does not capture micro-level heterogeneity within localities
