17 rows - 1 Africa country/area - 2017-2021 - source table - Engineered by Electric Sheep Africa

TL;DR

This dataset contains 17 rows from MDPA, covering Ict Usage in Education by Year. It is published as ML-ready Parquet with consistent Hugging Face metadata, source provenance, and analysis-friendly loading examples.

What This Dataset Measures

Education datasets help analysts study access, participation, learning systems, infrastructure, and outcomes across places and periods.

Source-provided context: The data shows usage of ICT and internet in education at primary, secondary and tertiary level. It also contain Student examined in ICT at School Certificate and Higher School Certificate level and students enrolled in ICT or an ICT-dominated field at tertiary level 2000 to 2021

How To Read This Dataset

• One row means: one source record from the original tabular resource, with Electric Sheep Africa provenance columns added where available.
• Primary geography column: country_iso3.
• Best time column: not detected.
• Time coverage basis: source metadata.
• Recommended join keys: country_iso3 where available plus source-specific keys.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-mauritius-ict-usage-in-education-by-year-3afb612a")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Inspect Columns

print(df.info())
print(df.head())

Filter By Geography

if "country_iso3" in df.columns:
    sample = df[df["country_iso3"] == "MU"]

Time-Series Pattern

if "value" in df.columns and "year" in df.columns:
    trend = df.sort_values("year")

Pivot For Analysis

if {"indicator_id", "year", "value"}.issubset(df.columns):
    matrix = df.pivot_table(index="year", columns="indicator_id", values="value")
    print(matrix.tail())

Data Quality Notes

• No canonical year/date column was detected in the packaged table; use source metadata and domain context for temporal interpretation.
• Missing values are preserved rather than silently imputed.
• Column names are standardized for machine use; source meanings are preserved where known.
• Always confirm source methodology, units, and collection definitions before policy, production, or redistribution-sensitive use.
