Information technology is a key component of education policy in Nigeria, with national efforts to integrate ICT into the schooling system. The study analyzes Nigeria’s National Policy for Information Technology and proposes policy implications to maximize ICT use in schools. The authors conduct a qualitative analysis of the policy’s content and structure. The analysis finds the policy inadequate for positively influencing education, being market‑driven and lacking emphasis on ICT integration.
This paper presents an analysis of the Nigerian National Policy for Information Technology. The analysis reveals that the policy is inadequate to impact positively on the Nigerian education system, and that the philosophical frame of reference is market driven. The policy places little emphasis on the integration and infusion of ICT in the country’s education system. Policy implications and suggestions are offered to ensure maximum use of ICT potentials in the Nigerian school system.
