Abstract: This study examines how data-driven, ICT-based teacher allocation can improve the quality and equity of primary education in Senegal, using machine learning to evaluate different teacher transfer mechanisms. While student performance improved across all simulations, it came at the cost of equity, with regional-level teacher transfer schemes being more effective than national-level ones in balancing quality improvement and minimizing inequality.
