## 📌 Project Overview
Online education is expanding rapidly across Africa, but learner dropout remains one of the industry's most persistent and costly challenges. High dropout rates reduce the social return on education investment, undermine institutional credibility, and limit long-term platform sustainability.
**LearnEdge Dropout Intelligence** is a full-stack data analytics project that investigates learner dropout patterns across the LearnEdge online education platform. Using two datasets — a primary dataset of **100,000 learner records** and a supplementary dataset of **40,000 African EdTech learner profiles** — this project delivers actionable, evidence-based insights for EdTech decision-makers.
