The Education Equality Country Profiles present data on income, geographic, and gender equality in education access, completion, expenditures, and attainment. To download a profile, select a country from the list on the left and then click on a survey name from the options that will appear on the right. The profiles were generated using ADePT Education for DHS, MICS, and LSMS surveys that held education data. They hold raw data. Users should compare data with other data sources before using in analysis.
