Abstract

This study examined the quantity and the quality of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) materials use to teach e-governance in public and private secondary schools in Osun State. The study sample comprised 120 secondary schools selected using multi-stage and stratified random sampling technique. One research instrument was used for the study namely e-Governance education Instructional Materials Check List (IMCL). The ICT instructional materials as recommended in secondary school government curriculum were used as the standard for data collection. The results of the study showed that recommended ICT instructional materials are not adequately available to teach e-governance concept in public (65.56%) and private (63.37%) secondary schools in Osun State. It also revealed a bad quality of the e-governance ICT Materials in public (80.93%) and private (70.92%) secondary schools in the State. The study concluded that the teaching of e-governance concept has a serious challenge in actualizing the objectives for which it was introduced because the ICT materials used for it implementation in both public and private secondary schools in Osun State are grossly inadequate in quantity and quality.
