Application of Information and Communication Technology in Managing Students Records in Polytechnics of Kebbi State

This study conducted a research and investigated on the Application of ICT in managing Students record in Polytechnics of Kebbi State. In achieving this aim, designed questionnaire were administered to various respondents to find out What ICT facilities or tools are available in the two polytechnics? To what extent is ICT used in the management of information resources and students records in these polytechnics? What are the challenges faced in the application of information and communication technology in management students records by the polytechnics in the state? It was observed that the institutions involved in the study are using some ICT facilities in managing Students records. But these facilities are not sophisticated and the process of managing Students information is not automated. Computer system, database, web portal and internet are the only facilities used in managing these records. We also note that computer system, projector, smart boards, online learning software and school website are the only available ICT facilities within the two institutions. The number of scores recorded give us insight that these ICT facilities are not being used extensively and, form the bases behind much challenges involved, and the challenges noted are lack of sufficient training, inadequate power supply—to make the device workable, insufficient devices, lack of internet related services and maintenance of damaged facilities.
