Predicting academic performance of tertiary students using classification algorithm

Abstract

Classification algorithms have paved the way for several recommender systems in the field of Medicine, Entertainment, Politics, Education, etc. Recently there is a growing interest among researchers to analyze or predict the academic progression of students from High Schools to Tertiary Education. Better performance of students will directly reciprocate in the growth of an institution. Hence, setting up a supervised learning system will act as a gauge to provide a benchmark education. This paper aims to recommend a system based on a predictive model which will aid the institution to measure the performance of students based on various parameters.
