Abstract

Teachers and school administrators in various countries especially in the Western World are seriously adopting and utilizing the numerous opportunities provided by the new innovation (ICT) for greater efficiency, better quality, faster production and delivery of more reliable and cost-effective service. It is imperative that traditional mode of school management will in no time be replaced with a new mode of management which involves digitalization of educational management. For this purpose, Nigeria needs to rise to the challenges militating against digitalization of her educational system. Digital technologies have to be deployed in our educational system especially at secondary level of education which serves as the base for other levels of education. This is the only way Nigeria could raise graduates who will be able to meet up with the competitive digital-driven world. The paper examines the concept of digitalization of education, role/importance of digitalization, state of Nigeria in digitalization of education especially secondary education, the challenges militating against digitalization of school management and the way forward.
