Historical education trends in the developing nation of Mali

  To create the worksheet containing historical data on education trends in Mali and chart the related development indicators, follow these steps: Open a new Excel workbook and create a new worksheet titled “Education Trends in Mali.” Create columns for the different development indicators you want to compare. For example, you could have columns labeled “School Enrollment Rate,” “Literacy Rate,” and “Gender Parity Index.” These indicators will serve as the headers for your data. In the rows below each indicator, input the historical data for each year. For example, under the “School Enrollment Rate” column, list the enrollment rates for each year in chronological order. Repeat the same process for the other indicators. Format the data appropriately. Use number formatting to display percentages or decimals correctly, and apply cell borders or shading to make the worksheet visually appealing and easy to read. Select the range of cells containing the data you want to chart. Click on the “Insert” tab in the Excel ribbon and choose the desired chart type to represent the data. For comparing historical trends, a line chart or area chart may be suitable. Customize the chart by adding titles, labels, and formatting options to make it visually appealing and easy to interpret. You can modify axis labels, add a legend, or change the chart style to suit your needs. Save the Excel workbook and upload it to SkyDrive or any cloud storage platform that your group is using for collaboration. Share the link or provide access to the file so that your group members can view and interact with the chart. By following these steps, you will create a worksheet with historical data on education trends in Mali, chart the development indicators, and make the chart available to your group using SkyDrive or a similar cloud storage platform. This will allow your group members to analyze and discuss the trends in school enrollment over time and gain insights into the education situation in Mali.
