Abstract

The Nigerian educational reform act of 2007 provides information on wide ranging reforms for the country’s education sector. While the conceptual ideas and provisions are laudable, the issue of implementation becomes a matter of concern. This theoretical paper examines the potentials of information and communication technology in the implementation of the reforms. It explores the basic concepts of educational reforms, the nature of the reform, the implementation of previous education reform programmes, and information and communication technology (ICT) in the Nigerian school curriculum. The paper concludes on the need to systematically use ICT to implement the Nigerian educational reforms

 

Key words: Reforms, Nigerian educational reforms, information and communication technology, evaluation of reforms.
