Speaking on Wednesday at the unveiling of the EDUSTAT, Head
of Nigeria Office, Mr Patrick Areghan, explained that for schools, the platform
would offer student-level data on academic performance, attendance, and
demographic information.
Areghan added that the innovation was done to take the edge
off the manual access to data by stakeholders, improve the quality of service
delivery and generate more revenue for the Council.
Areghan emphasised that “The new product, EDUSTAT, by WAEC
is borne out of the desire to provide stakeholders such as researchers, funding
agencies, government institutions, schools administrators, and parents with a
reliable platform that provides educational insights collected from multiple
sources and delivered in simplified graphs, summaries, and dashboards which
help them enhance their decision.
“The core benefit of the EDUSTAT by WAEC platform is access
to a comprehensive Interactive Web Report.
“Also, the platform offers detailed and smart statistical
insights into the education and assessment dynamics, using historical and
current data to provide detailed intelligence for stakeholders across the globe
in a smart and easily accessible manner. One of the key features of this
platform is its ability to analyze data in real-time.
“This means that educators can get immediate feedback on how
their students are performing, enabling them to adjust their teaching
strategies as needed. Additionally, the platform is designed to be
user-friendly and customizable, allowing educators to tailor it to their
specific needs and preferences.”
He added that institutions such as universities and colleges
could also benefit from the platform by accessing data on enrollment and
academic performance of their students, saying the information could be used to
identify areas where additional resources are needed to support students and
improve overall performance.
He said, “Similarly, the platform provides researchers with
a comprehensive and intuitive way to track and analyse educational statistics.
“It is designed to be accessible to educators at all levels,
from classroom teachers to school administrators and policymakers. With this
platform, you can easily track student progress, identify areas of weakness,
and make data-driven decisions to improve outcomes for all students.”
