Application of ICT use in schools in Nigeria


 The adoption and use of ICTs in schools have a positive impact on teaching, learning, and research. Despite the roles ICTs can play in education, secondary schools in Nigeria have yet to extensively adopt them for teaching and learning. Efforts geared towards integration of ICTs into the secondary school system, have not had much impact. Problems such as poor policy and project implementation strategies, and limited or poor information infrastructure militate against these efforts. In order to ensure that ICTs are widely adopted and used in Nigeria's secondary school system, the following efforts should be taken.
  • Government should ensure that ICT policy statements are translated into reality. An ICT policy implementation commission should be created. This commission should be funded and given the power to provide ICT facilities in the schools and monitor their use.
  • All secondary schools should be made beneficiaries of ICT projects.
  • Computer/ICT education should be made compulsory for all secondary school students. At present, the National Policy on Education, 4th ed., has made computer education an elective course in high schools. This means only those who elect to take it will have computer education in high school.
  • Efforts should be made by Ministry of Education (at Federal and State levels) to post teachers skilled in ICTs to each secondary school to impart ICT skills to the students.
  • The Federal Ministry of Mines and Power should work towards stabilizing electricity supply in Nigeria.

Decision tree C4.5 C4.5 is an algorithm used to generate a decision tree developed by Ross Quinlan. C4.5 is an extension of Quinlan's earlier ID3 algorithm. The decision trees generated by C4.5 can be used for classification, and for this reason, C4.5 is often referred to as a statistical classifier. Authors of the Weka machine learning software described the C4.5 algorithm as "a landmark decision tree program that is probably the machine learning workhorse most widely used in practice to date". advantages: •  Build models that could easily interpreted •  Easy to implement •  It can use categorical and continuous values •  Deals with noise disadvantages: •   Small variation in data can lead to different decision trees (especially when the variables are close to each other in value) •  Does not work very well on a small training set Naive Bayes In machine learning, naive Bayes classifiers are a family of simple probabilistic classifiers based on
