Investigating the Problems Facing Computerization of Records in Secondary Schools in JOS, Nigeria

The study looks into the issues that have arisen as a result of the computerization of records in selected secondary schools in Jos, as well as the vulnerability of the prevalent manual data processing to human errors. Information was gathered through observations made during physical visits to the schools' computer labs, questionnaires, and personal interviews with selected school Information and Communication Technology (ICT) employees. Administrators and information technology employees were among the people who took part in the survey.In Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria, seven private schools, one Federal Government College, one Federal Command Secondary School, one State Government owned school, and one Federal Government College were utilised. According to the findings, the most significant impediment to the computerization of academic records in the schools is a lack of funding. Funding plays a significant role in the purchase of proprietary School Management application packages.
