+# Nigeria Education – Student Loans
+
+## Dataset Description
+
+Synthetic Higher Education data for Nigeria education sector.
+
+**Category**: Higher Education  
+**Rows**: 100,000  
+**Format**: CSV, Parquet  
+**License**: MIT  
+**Synthetic**: Yes (generated using reference data from WAEC, JAMB, UBEC, NBS, UNESCO)

+
+## 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
