Abstract

This study focuses on evaluating the secondary school systems in Senegal to identify areas for improvement. Panel data analysis will be employed using econometric techniques such as fixed effects models to account for unobserved heterogeneity across schools. Robust standard errors will be applied to ensure the reliability of estimated coefficients. A notable theme in the panel data analysis is the significant positive effect (p < 0.01) of incorporating technology and interactive learning methods on student yield improvements, suggesting a need for more investment in these areas. The findings indicate that integrating modern teaching technologies and engaging methodologies can substantially enhance educational outcomes among secondary school students in Senegal. School administrators should prioritise the adoption of innovative teaching strategies to improve learning environments and student performance. Policy makers are encouraged to allocate more resources towards technology integration in education. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
