# Addressing-Inequality-in-Education-in-Africa
### Project Overview
Education inequality remains a persistent challenge across Africa, driven by factors such as poverty, gender disparities, regional inequality, conflict, and inadequate educational infrastructure. These challenges continue to limit equitable access to quality education across the continent.
This project analyzes education inequality trends across African countries from 2010 to 2021, using data-driven methods to uncover patterns, regional disparities, and key contributing factors. Through exploratory analysis, clustering, and predictive modeling, the study generates actionable insights to support targeted interventions and evidence-based decision-making for policymakers, NGOs, and education stakeholders committed to inclusive and equitable education.
### Data Understanding
The dataset used for this analysis was obtained from Kaggle. It contains education inequality indicators across multiple countries and years, spanning 2010 to 2021.
The data captures inequality in education levels across countries, reflecting disparities in years of schooling, access to education, and quality of education.
Each row in the dataset represents a country or territory, with columns describing geographic classifications, development indicators, and yearly education inequality values.
### Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
The analysis followed a structured, data-driven approach to uncover trends, drivers, and future outlooks of education inequality across Africa:
- Performed time series analysis to identify the top 10 African countries showing the greatest improvement and worsening in education inequality over time.
- Conducted regional comparisons across: Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), Europe & Central Asia (ECA), East Asia & Pacific (EAP), Latin America & the Caribbean (LAC), Arab States (AS) and South Asia (SA) to determine regional performance patterns and disparities.
- Explored correlations between key soci …
