Impact of Computer Studies on Academic Performance in Schools

Education is becoming one of the most challenging fields in our society today and where knowledge is expanding so rapidly that modern technology requires the use of computers. The growth of the global economy and the information-based society has forced education systems around the world to use the new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to teach students the knowledge and skills they need in the 21st century (World Bank, 2004). The study of computer can be a catalyst by providing tools which teachers use to improve teaching and giving learners access to electronic media that make concepts clearer and more accessible.
