Ghana education indicators: our own survey

6 indicators on our own survey. The figures nobody else holds. Each carries the years published, the latest value, the source and the year that source reports. The data hub has every topic in one table.

Children aged 0 to 14 per school

Our school count against the World Bank's child population. A figure that exists only because both halves are in one place.

Schools pinned to their own position

The rest sit at the centre of their town or district until a school tells us exactly where it is. A hollow pin on our map says so.
