Moreover, we offer a fashionable literature review of the EDM work that has been revealed during the past years with target the prediction of educational performance in educational activity. we tend to analyze the foremost normally used options and strategies in predicting educational accomplishment, and highlight the advantages of the principally used DM tools in EDM. The results of this paper might assist researchers who  are working to hold out EDM solutions within the domain of education as we tend to highlight the type of options that the previous researches found to possess important impact on the prediction, likewise because the edges and downsides of the DM strategies and tools used for predicting educational outcomes.
