Abstract:
|
We analyze education systems of 64 countries using multivariate statistical techniques such as principal component analysis, factor analysis, and discriminant analysis. Our goal is to classify countries into two populations, one where the educational system of the country is exceptional and the other where the educational system is fair. Reducing the dimensionality of the data set simplifies this process. "Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today."-- Malcolm X
