+
51
+ ## Data Generation Methodology
52
+
53
+ This dataset was synthetically generated using:
54
+
55
+ 1. **Reference Sources**:
56
+ - WAEC (West African Examinations Council) - exam results, pass rates, grade distributions
57
+ - JAMB (Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board) - UTME scores, subject combinations
58
+ - UBEC (Universal Basic Education Commission) - enrollment, infrastructure, teacher data
59
+ - NBS (National Bureau of Statistics) - education surveys, literacy rates
60
+ - UNESCO - Nigeria education statistics, enrollment ratios
61
+ - UNICEF - Out-of-school children, gender parity indices
62
+
63
+ 2. **Domain Constraints**:
64
+ - WAEC grading system (A1-F9) with official score ranges
65
+ - JAMB UTME scoring (0-400 points, 4 subjects)
66
+ - Nigerian curriculum structure (Primary, JSS, SSS)
67
+ - Academic calendar (3 terms: Sep-Dec, Jan-Apr, May-Jul)
68
+ - Regional disparities (North-South education gap)
69
+ - Gender parity indices by region and level
70
+
71
+ 3. **Quality Assurance**:
72
+ - Distribution testing (WAEC grade distributions match national patterns)
73
+ - Correlation validation (attendance-performance, teacher quality-outcomes)
74
+ - Causal consistency (educational outcome models)
75
+ - Multi-scale coherence (student → school → state aggregations)
76
+ - Ethical considerations (representative, unbiased, privacy-preserving)
77
+
78
+ See `QUALITY_ASSURANCE.md` in the repository for full methodology.
79
+
80
+ ## Use Cases
81
+
82
+ - **Machine Learning**: Performance prediction, dropout forecasting, admission modeling, resource allocation
83
+ - **Policy Analysis**: Education program evaluation, gender parity assessment, regional disparity studies
84
+ - **Research**: Teacher effectiveness, infrastructure impact, exam performance patterns
85
+ - **Education Planning**: School placement, teacher deployment, budget allocation
86
+
87
+ ## Limitations
88
+
89
+ - **Synthetic data**: While grounded in real distributions from WAEC/JAMB/UBEC, individual records are not real observations
90
+ - **Simplified dynamics**: Some complex interactions (e.g., peer effects, teacher-student matching) are simplified
91
+ - **Temporal scope**: Covers 2022-2025; may not reflect longer-term trends or future policy changes
92
+ - **Spatial resolution**: State/LGA level; does not capture micro-level heterogeneity within localities
