ABSTRACT

Currently the amount huge of data stored in educational database these database contain the useful information for predict of students performance. The most useful data mining techniques in educational database is classification. In this paper, the classification task is used to predict the final grade of students and as there are many approaches that are used for data classification, the decision tree (ID3) method is used here.
