## 4 Findings and Results  
### Descriptive Statistics  
Table 3 provides a thorough representation of the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of all students residing in households that participated in the National Education Accessibility Survey 2022. This dataset provides essential information about the characteristics of households, which is crucial for understanding the specific details that influence educational access and socioeconomic development in the examined area. An exhaustive analysis of each category revealed significant trends and patterns, providing valuable insights for academic discussions and policy development. The category \"Age of Household Head\" reveals a significant predominance of young individuals taking on the responsibility of leading households, with 88.57% of heads under the age of 20 years. This demographic phenomenon highlights the early assumption of familial obligations by young people, which is influenced by various variables, including economic pressure, family dynamics, and cultural standards. Figure 1: Flowchart for the methodology. Moreover, the examination of \"Household Size\" reveals that a significant majority of households consist of larger family units with five or more individuals, accounting for 85.01% of the households questioned. These findings have significant consequences for how resources are distributed, the quality of housing, and dynamics within families. Careful and detailed interventions are required to tackle related difficulties and promote strong and adaptable family structures. \begin{table}
