**This project is for students in the Online Statistics & Data Science programme (M.Sc) only. No other student will be accepted for this project.**
The Irish Times publishes the proportion of students in individual post-primary schools who progressed to third-level institutions annually (e.g., https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/education/2022/12/14/feeder-schools-2022-top-tables/). Unsurprisingly, fee-paying schools have the highest progression rates. Some of this data has been amalgamated (but not all) in past final-year projects. This project will extend past data sets and develop an R package to allow users to interact with the data set. An important part of this will be data collection, collation and management from different sources. An important reference for developing an R package is R Packages (2e) by Hadley Wickham and Jennifer Bryan (https://r-pkgs.org/).
