📊 Egyptian Arabic Text Classification Dataset

🧾 Dataset Description

This dataset contains 1,353 Egyptian Arabic (colloquial) text samples labeled for text classification tasks.
Each sample consists of a short sentence describing institutional or educational features, annotated with a categorical label representing the strength or presence of the feature.

The dataset is suitable for Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks such as:

• Text Classification
• Sentiment / Strength Analysis
• Feature Evaluation Models

🔹 Labels are assigned based on students' opinions:

• Positive opinions → strong
• Negative opinions → weak

⚠️ Note: All text is in Egyptian Arabic (عامية مصرية), which may require special preprocessing or tokenization.
