Nigeria's secondary schools system faces challenges in delivering quality education, impacting both students' clinical outcomes and rural livelihoods. A Bayesian hierarchical model was employed to analyse data from multiple schools across various regions, with random effects accounting for regional variability and fixed effects representing systematic differences among schools. The analysis revealed significant heterogeneity in clinical outcomes between different schools, indicating the need for targeted interventions based on specific school performance profiles. This study provides a robust framework to understand the impact of secondary education systems on student clinical outcomes and offers recommendations for policy improvements. Policies should prioritise resource allocation towards underperforming regions while also encouraging schools with strong performance to share best practices. The empirical specification follows Y=₀+^ X+, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
