The Role of ICT in Kenya’s Public Universities Academic Management
Journal Title: Journal of Education and Literature - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
ICT has become an important tool in modern management of universities. This is because information is a critical ingredient in facilitating management decision-making and therefore, ICT is being seen as a crucial tool that can help in facilitating acquisition, use and management of this information. Despite the many efforts that have been put in place by the Kenyan government, the private sector and the institutions themselves to leverage the use of ICT in the higher educational institutions, there are still concerns over public universities integration of ICTs to enhance effective and efficient education management functions. This paper looks at how ICT can contribute to making academic management in Kenya’s public universities more effective and efficient, and the challenges that require to be overcome in order to achieve this.
