Educational Data Mining is one of the major on-going research platforms now. Students’ records need to be maintained and analyzed in a manner so that they can be utilized to predict students’ behavior and learning methods. Although students’ academic records need to be processed and analyzed through data mining tools, the primary challenge is to gather individual academic student details. This paper proposes a global database of students irrespective of geographical boundaries. Academic performance of every student from every country will be updated in this platform. Students’ performance on major examinations will be available in the database. Supporting documents and performance details will be readily available and accessible to the evaluators from any geographic location. This will be helpful to standardize the evaluation process and analyze the performance of a student, irrespective of geographic boundaries. The following paper will discuss the available EDM tools and how data can be analyzed to extract information.
