“…As resources are very necessary for effective delivery, conscious efforts by researchers in predicting the effects of resource availability on the performance of the learner are necessary (Inusah et al, 2022). This will help institutions to carefully plan and provide educational resources that can boast the performance of learners.…”

“…Pedagogical tools and technological tools that facilitate teaching and learning are major aspects of education that facilitate academic progress. These tools enhance inclusivity and equity in the learning process (Inusah et al, 2022). For a friendly teaching and learning environment to be properly utilized, these tools are necessary.…”

The application of Data Mining (DM) in education is helping educational leadership to make informed decisions. This review seeks to identify the pattern of DM research by looking at the levels and aspects of education. As the core of schooling is Basic Education (BE), the research seeks to find out the degree of application of DM at this level to identify the challenges and prepare learners for higher education. The databases of nine (9) top-ranked publishers namely; Elsevier, Springer, Hindawi, Sage, SAI, IEEE, MDPI, Emerald and Wiley are used to identify the most recent and relevant papers in Educational DM (EDM) published from the year 2017 to 2022 specifically applied to a specific level of education. After careful filtering, only ninety-four (94) articles and conference papers were fit for the specification. The investigations revealed that only 7.45% of the published research works in EDM for basic education, 11.70% for pre-tertiary education and an overwhelming 80.85% for the tertiary level. Lower levels of education are marginalized. Also, the available literature on educational DM concentrates on student performance using attributes such as demographic factors, family socio-economic life, school environment, learner behaviour and psychological factors among others neglecting the availability of resources to facilitate quality tuition. The use of pedagogical tools is necessary for learning to improve quality. The research has revealed both a population gag and a knowledge gap.

“…Despite stakeholders’ efforts to constantly provide resources for schools, data available indicate that most countries lack adequate pedagogical tools for the school-going age population in school (Inusah et al, 2022). Evidence of school children without sitting places and writing places resulting in pupils lying on the floor using primitive tools is a common news item in the mass media (Inusah et al, 2023a; OECD, 2012).…”

“…In an initial exploration of educational data in Ghana, a detailed analysis of already existing data from the Educational Management Information System (EMIS) clearly shows the inaccuracies in the data and the repercussions on the quality of education in the country (Inusah et al, 2021). A subsequent classification of data and the use of technical tools to trace the challenges of basic education revealed the challenges of basic education as inadequate resources as a result of improper planning and projections for the growing population (Inusah et al, 2022). Stakeholder consultation to improve the management of data and enhance efficiency in decision-making received overwhelming support.…”

The major challenge of most basic schools is inadequate educational resources despite a conscious effort to constantly provide. This is a result of inaccurate data management leading to inappropriate predictions for effective planning. The actual efficiency of a system is determined by its ability to predict real-life data with speed and accuracy. In this work, the neural educational expert system (ES) is evaluated using mathematical models for predicting the availability of resources for the growing school-aged population using a criteria-based formative evaluation to know resource life and its effect on availability. This will help in the decision to add more resources by knowing when and how the resources should be added. Technical mathematical model generation through differential equations is used to fuse the factors affecting the availability of educational resources. The real-life data is used in prediction regarding the actual enrollment of learners and the availability of resources. The model is evaluated and critically analyzed to know the degree of accuracy and the steady state. The findings revealed that the resources decay and attrite at an exponential rate in the long run and the constant number of resources provided cannot cater for the rate of decay, resulting in inadequacy. A proposed algorithm for managing the resources is presented.
