With this interactive map visualization, explore local patterns in educational attainment across all low- and middle-income countries from 2000 to 2017. Compare how years of education vary between men and women and across two different age groups. Observe trends at multiple spatial scales – from entire nations to individual communities or 5-by-5 kilometer areas. Examine change over time and explore the probability that basic education ( > 6 years) has been achieved in a certain area. Search for specific countries, districts, and communities to view trends. Easily share maps with others.
