Abstract
This research was conducted to determine the Influence of Information and Communication
Technology Applications on Office Education Programme in the Federal Colleges of
Education in North-Central Zone of Nigeria. Four objectives were raised in the research, four
research questions were set to answer the problem of the study while four null hypotheses
were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. A descriptive survey research design
was used for the study, the Sample of the study consisted of One hundred and twenty-nine
students and eleven lecturers from Office Education Programme in three Federal Colleges of
Education in North-Central Zone of Nigeria. The students were selected using random
sampling technique, while there was no sampling for lecturers because of their limited
number. Questionnaire was used in gathering data and the data collected were statistically
analysed. The test of the null hypotheses showed no significant difference in the mean scores
of both the students and lecturers. The research findings revealed, among others, that modern
Information and Communication Technology equipment are not available for effective
teaching and learning of Office Education in the selected colleges of education in North
Central zone of Nigeria and that the available ICT facilities were not in their functional state
to achieve the desired influence on Office Education programme. Based on the findings, it
was concluded that the introduction of ICT in Office Education Programme has had no
influence which implies that students of Office Education from Federal Colleges of
Education do not have adequate knowledge, skill, and competencies in ICT needed for
survival in a globalized economy. The research recommended, among others, that
government Federal and State, TETFUND and Stakeholders should provide relevant and
modern ICT facilities in the Colleges of Education in North-Central Zone of Nigeria, so as to
produce the much desired manpower to man the modern day office that is ICT-driven.
