A data science portfolio project analyzing Rwanda education indicators to explore trends, progress, gaps, and policy-relevant insights using Python and public development data. # Rwanda Education Indicators Analysis ## Project Overview This project is a data science portfolio project analyzing Rwanda education indicators to explore trends, progress, gaps, and policy-relevant insights using Python and public development-style data. The project focuses on education access, completion, equity, and quality indicators. It demonstrates how data analytics can support education monitoring, policy analysis, program planning, and evidence-based decision-making. --- ## Problem Statement Education systems generate important indicator data over time, but this data must be cleaned, organized, analyzed, and visualized before it can support decision-making. This project addresses the need for a structured analytics workflow that can: - Organize education indicator data - Track trends across years - Compare primary and secondary education indicators - Analyze access, completion, equity, and quality patterns - Identify areas of progress and areas needing continued support - Communicate findings through charts, reports, and dashboard planning --- ## Objectives The main objectives of this project are to: - Build a clean and organized education indicators dataset - Use Python to clean, analyze, and summarize education data - Explore trends in enrollment, completion, gender parity, and pupil-teacher ratio - Create visualization scripts for education indicator analysis - Develop a dashboard plan for education monitoring - Present findings in a clear portfolio-ready format --- ## Repository Structure - `data/rwanda_education_indicators.csv` - `scripts/01_data_cleaning_and_eda.py` - `scripts/02_visualizations.py` - `reports/project_summary.md` - `visuals/dashboard_plan.md` - `notebooks/notebook_plan.md` - `README.md` - `requirements.txt` --- ## Dataset The dataset is a sample Rwanda education indicators dataset covering 2015 to 2023. It includes indicators related to access, completion, equity, and education quality. **Dataset file:** `data/rwan …
