Abstract: Making use of Data mining (DM) in education is a rising interdisciplinary research field often referred as educational data mining (EDM). The principal objective of any educational institute is to provide excellent education to its students. One method to gain perfect level of quality in higher education is discovering knowledge that evaluates teachers� and students� performance and tries to predict areas of improvements and strengths. To satisfy this objective, EDM plays a vital role. The proposed work offers an effective approach for evaluation and prediction of teachers� and students� performance in institutions of learning using data mining technologies. The proposed system also acknowledges improvement areas of student as well as teachers� and is able to recommend respective training to them.
