Abstract

In this article, we will discuss an application of Business Intelligence (BI) in analyzing data from the Brazilian educational system, specifically working with INEP (The Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística — IBGE). This paper then discusses BI implementation's positive contributions and critical challenges in this domain. From the construction of an integrated BI system, our study aimed to offer a helpful tool that was easy to handle and touched on visuals such as dashboards, tables, and graphs to help us understand and manage the educational scenery throughout Brazil. The methodology used has been applied, with case studies and bibliographical research, based on data analysis techniques such as ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) and Data Warehousing. This is all leveraged to interactive dashboards, which should enable data-driven decisions and forge the way for advanced analytics like data mining.
