Education statistics are systematically collected, organized, and analyzed numerical data describing the structure, processes, and outcomes of education systems, institutions, and learning activities ^[1][2][3][4]. They include quantitative indicators such as enrolment, attendance, completion and graduation rates, student–teacher ratios, expenditure per student, achievement scores, and participation in different levels and types of education ^[1][2]. Education statistics are characterized by standardized definitions, classifications, and measurement procedures that allow comparison across time, regions, and populations, and they are used to inform policy decisions, monitor progress, evaluate educational quality, and support research on educational equity and effectiveness ^[2][3][4]. Within educational policy and research, education statistics denote the empirical basis for evidence‑informed analysis, where statistical data derived from administrative records, surveys, assessments, and other sources are treated as core inputs for diagnosing issues, setting targets, and assessing the impact of interventions in education ^[1][2][3][4].
