Background of the Study
Cloud computing, the delivery of computing services over the internet, has revolutionized industries by offering scalable, cost-effective, and easily accessible solutions for data storage, collaboration, and software applications. In the educational sector, cloud computing enables schools to provide students and teachers with access to learning materials, administrative tools, and real-time communication without the need for heavy physical infrastructure. This flexibility is especially beneficial for secondary schools that may face budgetary constraints or limited access to technological resources.
In Bauchi Local Government Area, Bauchi State, cloud computing presents an opportunity to modernize education and improve school management. Despite the growing global use of cloud technologies, many secondary schools in the region are yet to fully adopt this solution. This study seeks to explore the factors influencing the adoption of cloud computing in secondary schools in Bauchi and its impact on teaching and administrative processes.
