Why Education Data Matters
Nigeria's education sector serves over 40 million students across 150,000+ schools, yet reliable data remains fragmented across government agencies, international bodies, and institutional silos. SchoolRegistry aggregates, verifies, and visualises this data so parents, policymakers, and education investors can make informed decisions.
