Abstract

In today's world, the pace of development in technology is at full tilt, which leads to the creation of enormous amount of data. This data which is created at very high-speed has variety and exists in a very huge size is known as big data. Big data analytics can be used in the educational sector for the betterment and to tackle the issues which can be faced while working with the educational data. Even though big data analytics is an excellent way to deal with most of the issues, but in some cases some of the problems get neglected or get don’t recognized in their pre stage. Which then reside for a long period of time and then lead to some critical issues. For that, this paper focuses on the different types of challenges that can be faced while utilizing big data analytics for the betterment of the educational sector. This paper also covers, various contributions of big data analytics that have been done in the educational sector, in this way making us able to focus on the abiding issues/problems.
