How these numbers are produced

Every number on this page is computed from the committed dataset file named below by scripts/export/build-project-dashboards.mjs. Nothing is typed by hand and the page contains no script, no external request and no generation date, so rebuilding it on unchanged data produces an identical file.

Source: school-attendance-2024.v1.csv + school-roster-2024.v1.csv

What this page does not show

The fifteen-day strike period in two schools is not counted as absence; including it makes those schools look like a dropout emergency. No causal inference about the feeding programme.
