The world has been revolutionaries by computers and they have been
implemented extensively in many departments. Although the digital divide is
not entirely bridged and many are not equipped in terms of the latest
technology. Computing has been introduced in teaching although skills are
not thoroughly developed.
It is true that in my school computer played a very important part almost in all
learning areas. Computers at school have integrated fully into the new
curriculum (ncs). Our school has possessed means of communications
through computer. Our learners make a research through computer.
However they also use computer for acquisition of innumeracy and language
skills as well as competency in word processing, spreadsheets and
databases. In addition learners were manage to pass with high percentage at
the end of the year because computer help them to be focus and understand

do research about what they have learned in class. Moreover the matriculates
used computer for revision purpose. They use internet to look out the
exemplars and previous question papers for revision purpose. Hopefully this

learners and educator to communicate with them effectively.

important role in the universe. Learners should be encouraged to study
computer as a major subject at tertiary level. In addition the idea of GDE is
vary good to empower and uplift educators to the field of technology
