Data-Driven Decision Making: A Framework for Educational Development in Nigeria

Abstract

Data-driven decision making has gained significant attention in recent years as a tool for improving educational outcomes, in Nigeria, the need for evidence-based decision making is becoming increasingly important as the country strives to improve the quality of education for its citizens. This paper proposes a framework for implementing data-driven decision making in the Nigerian education system to enhance educational development. The frame work includes five key steps: identifying key educational goals and indicators, collecting relevant data, analyzing the data, interpreting the results, and making decisions based on the data. The challenges and opportunities for implementing this framework in Nigeria are also discussed. The paper highlights the need for collaboration among stakeholders, including policymakers, educators, researchers, and communities, to ensure successful implementation of the framework. The proposed framework has the potential to improve educational outcomes and contribute to the development of a mere evidence-based education system in Nigeria.
