ABSTRACT

The human race needs to communicate in a most efficient form and getting the information needed in a timely fashion is of immense importance. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is basically an electronic based system of information transmission, reception, processing and retrieval. The computers for example are used to convert; store protect process transmit and securely retrieve information. This study shall reveal the benefits of ICT use in the education sector and identify the technology demands and their legal sector and identify the technology demands and their legal framework raised by the education sector and the extent to which demands have been made.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Oketunji (2001), stated that, every human being needs to communicate. The human race need to communicate in a most efficient form and getting the information needed in a timely fashion is of immense importance. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is basically an electronic based system of information transmission, reception, processing and retrieval, the computers for example are used to convert, store, protect, process, transmit and securely  retrieve information. Ehimwenma (2006) pointed that ICT also involves the application of software from the smallest home to the largest enterprise package and online. Software service and the hardware needed to the largest global networks operated by major commercial enterprises and of course the internet ICT at global levels, serves as the driving force for changing business environment due to its integration into all aspects of the school.

Oviogbodu (2010) observed that effective introduction of ICT in vocational training will facilitate knowledge transfer, and equip stakeholders (teachers, students, trainees etc) to join on-line learning communities to acquire managerial techniques and skills to enable them create administrative and productive, school entities in the Nigeria society.

Schools play a fundamental role in every aspect of a country. They are the foundation upon which the future generations are built and they are highly relevant on information related to research, theories principles and experiments relating to education to their students. Hence schools are highly information intensive and sensitive contribution to their performance.

The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is widespread from the most developed Countries through the developing Countries to the least developed countries although the extent of over all use of is directly related to the level of development (Khalita 2000).

In this age of globalization, ICT has become a necessity for educational Institutions if they must survive and compete with rest of the world. Information is one of the major determining factors to enable school management make the right decision that will affect both the operational and administrative aspect of the school. ICT tends to optimize the efficiency of recording accounting interpreting and other functions consequently ICT is totally dependent on structures and sub systems such as infrastructure, ICT literacy which helps in the processing of information coming from these systems.
