Abstract

This article presents data from the survey of 1120 households across the three senatorial districts in Kwara State, Nigeria, in 2022. The data has information on the head of households, individuals in the households, household demographic characteristics, community characteristics, education, household head employment status, and the standard of living. The questionnaire includes both open-ended and close-ended questions. The data is available in excel, and the coding explanation/ interpretation is presentable in a table. This data is important for studies on child schooling enrollment, education attainment, and studies of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, precisely goal four (UNSDG4).

Keywords: Child schooling; Education attainment; Education enrollment; Out-of-school children.
