Background of the Study
Cloud computing has transformed the way educational institutions manage their resources, store data, and deliver services. By providing remote access to servers, software, and databases over the internet, cloud computing enables schools to streamline their administrative functions, such as student records management, grading, and communication between staff and students. The adoption of cloud computing in school management systems allows for increased efficiency, scalability, and flexibility, making it particularly beneficial for schools with limited infrastructure.
In Birnin Kebbi Local Government Area, Kebbi State, many secondary schools still rely on traditional, paper-based methods for managing student information, tracking academic progress, and handling administrative tasks. This process can be time-consuming, prone to human error, and difficult to scale as student populations grow. Cloud computing offers a solution by enabling real-time data storage, access from multiple devices, and easy integration of different school management tasks into a single, unified platform.
The role of cloud computing in enhancing school management efficiency, however, remains underexplored in this local context. This study will evaluate how cloud computing can improve the administration and management of secondary schools in Birnin Kebbi.
Statement of the Problem
Many secondary schools in Birnin Kebbi Local Government Area continue to face challenges in managing school operations efficiently due to the reliance on traditional, non-digital systems. The use of cloud computing in school management has not been widely researched in the area, leaving a gap in understanding how it can improve operational efficiency.
