Uncovered a 16.2-point WAEC performance gap between Nigeria's best and worst performing regions — Power BI dashboard analyzing ~9K students across 6 geopolitical zones by school type, prep class attendance, and parental education. # Nigeria WAEC Performance Analytics ### Uncovering the Regional Achievement Gap --- ## Overview Not all Nigerian students sit the same exam under the same conditions. This project investigates whether **where a student is from, the type of school they attend, and their parents' education level** shape their WAEC (West African Examinations Council) outcomes and by how much. Using Power BI, I built an interactive dashboard analyzing student-level WAEC performance data across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones, uncovering a **16.2-point performance gap** between the highest and lowest performing regions. --- ## Business Question > "Do students in different parts of Nigeria have an equal shot at WAEC success or does geography, school type, and family background predetermine outcomes?" This dashboard was built to answer that question with data, not assumptions — and to identify where targeted intervention (prep classes, resource allocation, school-type policy) could close the gap. --- ## Key Insights | Insight | Finding | |---|---| | **Regional Gap** | South-West outperforms North-East by **16.2 points** on average | | **Credit Pass Rate** | Only **55.4%** of students achieve credit-level passes | | **Below Credit Level** | **1 in 3 students** score below credit level | | **Prep Class Impact** | Students who attend prep classes score **6.9 points higher** on average | | **School Type Gap** | Private school students outperform public school students by **7.6 points** | | **Parental Education** | Children of tertiary-educated parents score **16 points higher** than children of parents with no formal education | | **Subject Consistency** | The regional gap persists across every subject tested (Biology, English, Mathematics) — it's systemic, not subject-specific | --- ## Dashboard Features - **KPI Summary Cards** — Credit Pass Rate, Total Students, Average Score, Regional Performance Gap, Prep Class Impact - **Regional Performance Ranking** — bar chart …
