&lt;br>&lt;br>
The NO-GAP research team was provided with student-level primary population data by the National Agency for Education (NAE) from the Education Information Management System (EMIS) database. This database contains the data that is needed by education stakeholders to analyse and assess the state of education in various aspects, forecast educational change, make data-driven decisions, and manage education for quality.
&lt;br>&lt;br>
The primary data provided by the NAE was cleaned, additionally coded to prevent reidentification, and merged into a single data file by the NO-GAP research team. In addition, the team prepared the codebook &lt;a href="https://hdl.handle.net/21.12137/ZXB4KO" target="_blank">"NO-GAP Codebook. School and Student Level Variables: 2021-2022 Cohort of 8th-Grade Students"&lt;/a>.

&lt;p>Dataset "NO-GAP: Student-Level Data: Cohort of 8th Graders of the School Year 2021-2022" metadata and data were prepared implementing project &lt;a href="https://nogap.ktu.edu/english/" target="_blank"> "Disparities in School Achievement from a Person and Variable-Oriented Perspective: A Prototype of a Learning Analytics Tool NO-GAP"&lt;/a> from 2020 to 2023. Project leader is chief research fellow Rasa Erentaitė. Project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund according to the 2014–2020 Operational Programme for the European Union Funds’ Investments, under measure’s No. 01.2.2-LMT-K-718 activity “Research Projects Implemented by World-class Researcher Groups to develop R&amp;D activities relevant to economic sectors, which could later be commercialized” under a grant agreement with the Lithuanian Research Council (LMTLT).
