About
This dataset offers extensive global education statistics, drawing from World Bank data. It provides a detailed view of education indicators across numerous countries and years, spanning from 1987 with projections extending up to 2100. The data provides a valuable resource for understanding historical trends and future outlooks in global education. Users should note that some data cleaning may be required for optimal use.

- Country Code: A unique code identifying each country. There are 268 unique codes, with 'AFG' (Afghanistan) being the most common in the sample.

- Educational Research: Analysing trends in education across different countries and time periods.
- Policy Making: Informing decisions related to education reform and development at national and international levels.
- Academic Studies: Supporting dissertations, research papers, and comparative studies on global education systems.
- Data Analysis: Conducting statistical analysis to identify correlations and patterns within education indicators.
- Visualisation: Creating dashboards and visual representations of education data over time and geography.
Coverage
The dataset covers most countries in the world, offering a broad geographic scope. The time range extends from 1987, with projections up until 2100, providing both historical data and future estimates. The focus is on a wide array of education indicators, without specific demographic breakdowns in the general description, but these would be captured within the 'Series' column details.
