Abstract
Educational attainment is a subject of great importance in today’s world. The challenge to maximize educational outcomes is now seen on a national scale. There have been many studies on the interventions and factors that can be used to improve educational attainment. Using interventions that have proven effective in these studies, an original survey exploring the impact of these interventions on educational attainment is collected and combined with census data. It is then integrated into an agent-based model that predicts educational outcomes. Controlling for different variables, this agent-based model gives insights into the influence of different intervention combinations.
