USE OF DATA MINING TO PREDICT SLOW LEARNERS IN SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Education is the Backbone of any country and it is very important to improve the education strength of the country. There are various methods and challenges that the government use these days in schools to improve the standard of education like technologies like computers, smart rooms, projectors, and eBooks. But these recourses are only use full when we know which student need which type of resource or in other words if we predict the results of students, we can improve results and decrease drop out ratios. In this research, we use Data Mining in education to predict patterns based on certain criteria to improve the results of the schools. In this research paper first we explain what data mining is and how it is useful in education and how to predict certain patterns as a result of applying data mining with the use of Weka Tool.
