Abstract
This study explores the transformative potential of data analytics in enhancing educational management within Nigerian tertiary institutions to achieve global competitiveness. It aims to demonstrate how data-driven decision-making improve educational outcomes. Descriptive survey research design was used for the study. Two research questions were posed, and two research hypotheses were formulated. The population for the study included 141 Administrators consisting of 12 Deans of Faculty, 82 Heads of Department and 47 Directors of institutes and centers. 104 Administrators were sampled using stratified random sampling technique. The instrument for data collection was a 15-item questionnaire structured on a four-point scale. The questionnaire was validated by three experts. Mean scores were used to answer the research questions. The findings revealed that data analytics not only enhances personalized learning and predictive capabilities but also streamlines administrative processes and aligns educational practices with international standards. Furthermore, the study identifies key challenges, including infrastructural deficiencies, capacity-building needs, and data privacy concerns, and proposes strategic solutions to mitigate these issues. The results underscore the critical role of data analytics in fostering an efficient, innovative, and globally competitive educational system in Nigeria. This research contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence on the benefits and challenges of data analytics in educational management, offering actionable insights for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders aiming to elevate the quality and competitiveness of Nigerian education on the global stage.
