Survey Of Information And Communication Technology Infrastructure Impact In Secondary Schools

Abstract

Information technology is the use of computer and other telecommunication device in processing data. It’s also a methodical system of applying scientific knowledge to problem working. This design considers the evaluation of information technology operation in secondary seminaries. With the use of information technology outfit in secondary seminaries, scholars academic progress can be covered from stage to stge. named seminaries in Edo state were used as test case for the empirical study.

Chapter One

Information Technology is the use of computer and other telecommunication bias in the processing of data. Is also a methodical system of applying scientific knowledge to problem working. With the use of information technology outfit I secondary seminaries, scholars academic progress can be covered from stage to stage. When scholars are faced with academic problem, the academy authority can fluently identify the and adequately address the problem.

New operation are developed which in turn produce new occasion for use in classrooms. One illustration of this is the fact that the internet and its uses and possible consequences in academy hardly get mentioned.

The real upswing for the internet didn’t start until 1994, and the number of secondary academy now online is still veritably small. But one thing is certain. The number of classroom connected to the internet will increase.

For a long time, the discussion was each about computer but the combination of telecommunication and information processing machines that are now developing before our veritably eyes has created a new conception, called information technology.( or IT). This term in English is nebulous, since “ technology ’ can both mean the study of ways and fashion it tone. Information has always been a major part of every organisation, for decision timber and policy expression. Now, its volume is fleetly raising as moment’s terrain continues to be more complex. And dynamic and the challenges of its uses and manipulation of secondary seminaries in particular most collect, and use huge quantum of information to meet the academic demand of the scholars.

furnishing and supporting lower cost scalable technology result and internet for seminaries.

furnishing support from seminaries for specialized structure and connectivity.

School net Nigeria has, in collaboration with the mobile phone driver, MTN, established ICT laboratories cyber cafes for four seminaries in four countries in each of a four phase design using original ISPs. School net has yet to embark on the design.

Also, academy net Nigeria in collaboration with Computer Company busy net, is setting up ICT laboratory/ cyber café in four seminaries in 12 countries.

Another action by Zinox computers, a private computer company in collaboration with Microsoft, is set to revise ICT operation in education from the primary to the university position.

Zinox strategy is targeted by scholars, speakers and institution themselves. The company handed the computer at largely blinked price and stopgap with government support to achieve 75 ICT operation in Nigeria seminaries in 2010. First bank of Nigeria is bank rolling the design. ICT labs are set up for seminaries that repay in two to three times speaker repays the cost of their laptop in one time.

The ICT revolution has also registered commercial backing not only with computer company like Zinox, but also with the banks. Over 80 seminaries have served from the meridian bank. ICT for youth commission scheme. The scheme focuses on aiding Nigeria youth to ground the digital peak through early preface to ICT each academy admit a minimum of te computes.

To encourage the use of ICT the bank organized a periodic ICT commission forum for youth that attracts about 200 secondary and tertiary position scholars. The bank distributed 100 particular sidekicks( PDAs) to the first 100 scholars to arrive at the venue in 2006.

Problem of the Study

The problem is most seminaries in Edo state presumably have some of this information technology outfit of agers of which not all of them can be used within the rearmost field of operation, this is a situation that secondary seminaries have lived with until technological development in secondary seminaries to take a new turn. similar of those turn could be an indeed advanced degree of druggies ’ benevolence.

In addition to that there’s also problem of calculating payment. The payment of preceptors isn’t always prepared on time due to the homemade system of operation.

It’s a banality that plutocrat tends to be the topmost provocation on earth. A schoolteacher who teaches and at month end didn’t get payment on time, might loose interest in his or her job. He or she might start coming late top academy trying other means to get plutocrat. Like dealing clothes during academy hours. further over, some preceptors aren’t well equipped for the subject they handle.

A graduate from computer wisdom department that’s made to educate government can not manage because he’s short of ideas on that subject and as similar can not impact much into his scholars thereby making the pupil not to know important about his field of study.

Besides if a pupil travels out of academy and misses what have been tutored in class, how is he going to understand that which has been tutored? But with the use of VSAT and other telecommunication installations, pupil will learn briskly. And this can be done in form of online literacy.

It’s material to suppose of volition of processing and storing information. In secondary academy in view of the over stated problem.
