Abstract
Description
Information and communication technology has become the
emissary of all innovations taking place in different spheres in
the modern society. In the educational sector, many countries
around the world are investing in ICTs to improve and update
the quantity and quality of education they dispense to their
people. In a rapidly changing world, basic education is essential
for an individual to be able to access and apply information.
The Economic Commission for Africa (EGA) has indicated that
the ability to access and use information is no longer a luxury,
but a necessity for development. Unfortunately, many
developing countries like Nigeria are still/ow in the utilisation
and application of /CTs. It is against this premise that this
chapter focuses on how /CTs can be boosted for educational
development in Nigeria, particularly with regard to the secondary
educational system. The authors conclude that the adoption
and use of /CTs in schools will have a positive impact on
teaching, learning, and research
