Each row in this dataset represents subnational administrative unit observations. Temporal coverage is indicated by the `date`, `validon` column(s). Geographic scope: **ETH**. *Curated into ML-ready Parquet format by [Electric Sheep Africa](https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica).* --- ## Dataset Characteristics | | | |---|---| | **Domain** | Education | | **Unit of observation** | Subnational administrative unit observations | | **Rows (total)** | 1,082 | | **Columns** | 19 (7 numeric, 10 categorical, 2 datetime) | | **Train split** | 865 rows | | **Test split** | 216 rows | | **Geographic scope** | ETH | | **Publisher** | 3iS | | **HDX last updated** | 2025-04-15 | --- ## Variables **Geographic** — `admin3name` (Tahtay Adiyabo, Shilabo, Daror), `admin3pcod` (ET010101, ET050503, ET050392), `admin2name` (Sidama, North Shewa (AM), South Wello), `admin2pcod` (ET1600, ET0305, ET0304), `admin1name` (Oromia, Amhara, SNNP) and 7 others. **Temporal** — `date`. **Identifier / Metadata** — `objectid` (range 1.0–1082.0), `validon`, `esa_source` (HDX), `esa_processed` (2026-04-06). **Other** — `shape_leng` (range 0.0264–5.59), `shape_area` (range 0.0–1.0433). --- ## Quick Start ```python from datasets import load_dataset ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-ethiopian-primary-secondary-school-population-by-gender") train = ds["train"].to_pandas() test = ds["test"].to_pandas() print(train.shape) train.head() ``` --- ## Schema | Column | Type | Null % | Range / Sample Values | |---|---|---|---| | `objectid` | int64 | 0.0% | 1.0 – 1082.0 (mean 541.5) | | `admin3name` | object | 0.0% | Tahtay Adiyabo, Shilabo, Daror | | `admin3pcod` | object | 0.0% | ET010101, ET050503, ET050392 | | `admin2name` | object | 0.0% | Sidama, North Shewa (AM), South Wello | | `admin2pcod` | object | 0.0% | ET1600, ET0305, ET0304 | | `admin1name` | object | 0.0% | Oromia, Amhara, SNNP | | `admin1pcod` | object | 0.0% | ET04, ET03, ET07 | | `admin0name` | object | 0.0% | Ethiopia | | `admin0pcod` | object | 0.0% | ET | | `date` | datetime64[ns] | 0.0% | | | `validon` | datetime64[ns] | 0.0% | | | `shape_leng` | float64 | 0.0% | 0.0264 – 5.59 (mean 1.4259) | | `shape_area` | float64 | 0.0% | 0.0 – 1.0433 (mean 0.0856) | | `male_secondary_school` | int64 | 0.0% | 16.0 – 29358.0 (mean 6659.9455) | | `male_primary_school` | int64 | 0.0% | 20.0 – 29242.0 (mean 7706.086) | | `female_primary_school` | int64 | 0.0% | 19.0 – 30415.0 (mean 7698.7357) | | `female_secondary_school` | int64 | 0.0% | 19.0 – 43410.0 (mean 6722.7689) | | `esa_source` | object | 0.0% | HDX | | `esa_processed` | object | 0.0% | 2026-04-06 | --- ## Numeric Summary | Column | Min | Max | Mean | Median | |---|---|---|---|---| | `objectid` | 1.0 | 1082.0 | 541.5 | 541.5 | | `shape_leng` | 0.0264 | 5.59 | 1.4259 | 1.3717 | | `shape_area` | 0.0 | 1.0433 | 0.0856 | 0.048 | | `male_secondary_school` | 16.0 | 29358.0 | 6659.9455 | 5899.0 | | `male_primary_school` | 20.0 | 29242.0 | 7706.086 | 6946.5 | | `female_primary_school` | 19.0 | 30415.0 | 7698.7357 | 6807.0 | | `female_secondary_school` | 19.0 | 43410.0 | 6722.7689 | 5818.0 | --- ## Curation Raw data was downloaded from HDX via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snake_case. Common missing-value markers (`N/A`, `null`, `none`, `-`, `unknown`, `no data`, `#N/A`) were unified to `NaN`. 4 column(s) with >80% missing values were removed: `admin3refn`, `admin3altn`, `admin3al_1`, `validto`. 2 column(s) were cast from string to numeric or datetime based on parse-success rate (>85% threshold). The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet. --- ## Limitations - Data originates from 3iS and has not been independently validated by ESA. - Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection. - Refer to the [original HDX dataset page](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/ethiopian_primary-secondary_school_population_by_gender) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats. --- ## Citation ```bibtex @dataset{hdx_africa_ethiopian_primary_secondary_school_population_by_gender, title = {Ethiopian - Primary & Secondary School Population by Gender}, author = {3iS}, year = {2025}, url = {https://data.humdata.org/dataset/ethiopian_primary-secondary_school_population_by_gender}, note = {Repackaged for machine learning by Electric Sheep Africa (https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica)} } ``` --- *[Electric Sheep Africa](https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica) — Africa's ML dataset infrastructure.
