Abstract
This study gathered evidence on the state of primary schools in Sokoto State, Nigeria, in 2018 and 2019. The datasets contain two survey waves of a sample of 128 primary schools. Data was collected during unannounced visits to each school using several survey tools, including an observational survey of the school, interviews with the headmaster, teachers, and school-based management committee members. Topics covered in the interviews include school characteristics, the financial situation of the school, cooperation between stakeholders, the role of the school-based management committee, teaching methods, and absenteeism. While the data was primarily collected for the purpose of the evaluation of a school development programme, it can also be used to understand the state of primary schools in Sokoto, Nigeria.
