Role of Dimensionality Reduction for Optimization in Education Field: Application of COOT Algorithm

Education has an important role in shaping our lives. Since last few years, especially after COVID-19 pandemic situation teaching learning process is undergoing lot of changes. Education is the systematic acquisition of values, attitudes, skills, and information (either informally through schools or formally through life events); it is a personal developmental process that fosters greater self-confidence, respect, good jobs, and improved life quality, and it promotes social progress, poverty reduction, equality, and more peaceful communities. Education is a way to achieve all of these things on both a personal and social level. Education optimization is a difficult task at all levels or stages, whether preliminary or advanced. In the digital era, learning isn't difficult. However, to acquire quality education is a tough task. From course selection to teaching learning material selection, optimization is critical in education. Multiple characteristics or dimensions must be considered when carrying out these actions. The study focused on the importance of COOT dimensionality reduction algorithm for better selection of education options available.
