Global Education Performance Delta Dashboard

A static, installable (PWA) dashboard showing the change in higher-education performance per region and per country over 1, 3, 5, and 10 years, built only from trusted public sources with citations. GitHub Pages friendly.

It answers:

1. Top 3 regions improving most over 1/3/5 years.
2. Top 30 countries with significant progress, each with the institution that contributed most and the cited reason.
3. A universal approach: reusable levers, informed by a controlled correlation study of program features (AI, quantum, delivery mode, funding, ...), plus a balanced-by-region view.

Scope: higher education (bachelors, masters, PhD) and youth talent pathways.

Documentation

Full cross-linked guide in docs/guide: dashboard - methodology - data sources - taxonomy - correlation study - developing systems - architecture - licensing - disclaimer.

How it works

Public sources -> fetch_sources.py -> cited CSVs + overlay -> build_snapshot.py -> correlate.py -> versioned snapshot JSON + manifest -> static PWA -> GitHub Pages.

Data integrity

• No fabricated numbers. Every figure traces to a source in data/sources/SOURCES.md with an access date.
• Licensed ranking tables (QS/THE/ARWU) are not republished; the Rankings pillar is a transparent OpenAlex output-based proxy (details).
• Missing data is excluded, never imputed or zero-filled.

Build / refresh

cp .env.example .env        # optional: OPENALEX_API_KEY (Premium), OPENALEX_MAILTO
build/refresh.sh            # fetch -> build -> correlate
build/refresh.sh --no-fetch # rebuild from existing CSVs only

Zero Python dependencies (standard library only). Secrets are read from the gitignored .env or prompted - never committed.

Preview

cd docs && python3 -m http.server 8000   # open http://localhost:8000

Scope of the first snapshot

A cited seed cohort of 50 countries across seven regions (2014-2024, reference year 2024) that exercises every dashboard feature. Coverage expands toward the 60-80 threshold-passing target in later quarterly snapshots.
