Abstract

The importance of technology cannot be over stressed. Technology is needed in every field of human endeavour such as agriculture, construction, health, education, insurance, trade, commerce, industry, politics, economics, and even in religion. In education, for instance, technology can be useful to both the teacher and the students. For the students, technology can help them in writing, reading, research, and so on. The teacher, on the other hand, can also use technology in setting questions for students, giving assignment to students, marking students’ exams, saving their scores and other information about the students, among other things. To underscore the importance of technology in the field of education, this paper reviewed articles based on: Junior Secondary School Education, objectives of JSS education in Nigeria, Junior Secondary School Curriculum, instructional materials, procedures involved in suing the computer to implement the JSS curriculum, and also, examined some of the importance and challenges to implementing the curriculum using the computer which include among other things; irregular supply, high cost of computer sets. The way forward was suggested which included; compulsory but highly subsidized computer training for teachers, purchasing and donating of computer sets to both schools and teachers by the government and other major stakeholders in the education sector.
