The Education Attainment Database app is created to help policy makers / UN employees understand the state of academic literacy across the globe in developing nations.
This app consists of two plots with its own filters that the user can select to see the same graph for different kinds of filters.
The first plot is between grades attained and the mean literacy rate of all the countries for each age group. We can select a category of a social group - for eg. Urban, Rural, Male, Female, MalRur (Male and Rural), MalUrb (Male and Urban), FemRur (Female and Rural), FemUrb (Female and Urban). When looking at the graph we can make out that for all age groups and categories, we find the trend of the graph decreasing as the level of the grade increases. There are fewer people who achieved a higher grade. This seems intuitively quite obvious.
The second plot shows us a comparison of literacy rates for each of the 10 countries for each category of the society. We can also filter this by the grades they have completed.
