Background of the Study
The adoption of digital record-keeping systems in educational institutions has gained momentum as part of the broader trend toward digitization in various sectors (Adewumi & Ojo, 2023). These systems enable schools to store and manage records electronically, leading to improved efficiency, security, and accessibility (Umar & Musa, 2024). However, the implementation of digital record-keeping in secondary schools, especially in rural areas like Lokoja, Kogi State, has been slow due to infrastructural challenges and resistance to change (Sule & Bello, 2025).
In Lokoja LGA, many schools still rely on paper-based methods for record-keeping, which can be cumbersome and prone to errors. The barriers to adopting digital systems include a lack of reliable internet access, insufficient technical skills among staff, and inadequate funding for digital tools. This study seeks to explore these challenges and provide recommendations to enhance the implementation of digital record-keeping in secondary schools in Lokoja.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential benefits of digital record-keeping, secondary schools in Lokoja LGA face numerous challenges in implementing these systems effectively. Schools often experience difficulties in transitioning from traditional paper-based methods to digital systems, which can affect the efficiency and accuracy of student records (Olanrewaju & Adebayo, 2025). These challenges may include inadequate infrastructure, lack of training, and resistance from staff and students. This study aims to identify the specific obstacles preventing successful implementation and offer strategies to overcome them.
