Education has evolved in this era of computerization and is no longer limited to the old lecture style. The constant search for innovative ways to make it more effective and efficient for students is ongoing. A lot of data is collected in educational databases nowadays, yet it is rarely used. Powerful tools are required to reap the benefits of such large amounts of data. Data mining is a strong tool for analysis and prediction that is just getting started. It has been used successfully in the detection of fraud, advertising, marketing, loan assessment, and prediction. However, in the realm of education, it is still in its infancy. Although a lot of work has been done in this field, there are still a lot of unexplored territories.
