WORLD Education, Africa 1990-2021

The WORLD Policy Analysis Center (WORLD) is committed to improving the quantity and quality of globally comparative data available to policymakers, citizens, civil society, and researchers on laws and policies that work to support human rights, including economic opportunity, social and civic engagement, human health, development, well-being, and equity. The WORLD Education, Africa 1990-2021 was released in partnership with DataFirst. This data was created to use harmonized DHS and MICS surveys to assess the impact of policy change on early childhood outcomes, gender equality, and economic outcomes. Longitudinal data was constructed for 30 years spanning tuition-free pre-primary education and access to education, including tuition-free and compulsory education from primary through the completion of secondary.
