Abstract:
The purpose of this dissertation is to assess the level of ICT integration in the
management of SHS. The study focused on the level of access and availability of ICT
tools in senior high schools for management purposes. The research also sought to study
the views of teachers and school heads on the usefulness of ICT in senior high school
management as well as factors that influence its integration. The study adopted the
descriptive survey research design that incorporated a mixed method approach.
Respondents included teachers, headmasters and students from senior high schools in
the Wa municipality who were selected using stratified and purposive sampling
technique. Questionnaires were used in the collection of primary data. The study found
that ICT was not extensively used in management of the schools. The study further
established that senior high schools in Wa Municipality mostly concentrated on using
ICT in teaching and learning and not for management purposes. The study concluded
that ICT was not highly upheld in Senior High Schools for management purposes and
that the headmasters have been sluggish in its implementation causing its integration
for management purposes to slow down. The study recommends that the
stakeholders in senior high schools should embrace the use of ICT not only in
teaching and learning but also for management functions.
