Availabilities of Latest Technologies

Technology is continually developed bringing with it different changes in the society. The field of technology affects the human life in many aspects. In education, the role of technology in teaching is of great importance because of the use of information and communication technologies (Stošić, 2015). The exponential growth of technology usage in education, via such applications of distance education, Internet access, simulations, and educational games has raisedsubstantially the focus and importance of educational technology research (Ross, Morrison, and Lowther 2010).

Based onKitson, Fletcher, Kearney, and TX (2007) the most frequently used technologies in schools are e-mail, telephone systems, and

Quality of Overall Infrastructure

Government and parent’s world over believe that curriculum and teaching have an impact on learning. Apparently, physical infrastructure has a big influence in student achievement (Olagbimino, 2010). Poor environment in schools, adversely influence the health, performance, and attendance of the student. According to AFT’s 2006 research that poor lightning, inadequate ventilation, crumbling walls, damaged ceiling tiles, and inoperative heating and air conditioning system are some of its factors (Building Minds, 2010)

Facilities that are below approved standard could also lead to reduction in quality of teaching and learning in school resulting to poor pupils academic performance (Uwheraka 2005). Crook (2006) examined the relationship between the condition of the physical environment and number of students who passed the Virginia Standard of learning (SOL) examinations are found building condition to be a predictor of student success.

Access on the electricity helps to improve the learning process of the students by allowing them to spend more time studying and by providing more opportunities to use electronic equipment. Access to electricity can make a sizable difference in terms of its impact on schooling. In Nicaragua, 72 percent of children living in a household with electricity were attending school, but only 50 percent for those living in a household without electricity (Saghir

The presence of high-quality scientific research institutions that can generate the basic knowledge needed to build the new technologies; extensive collaboration in research and technological developments between universities and industry; and the protection of intellectual property (WEF, 2015 report). Although the institutional research policy is based on academic freedom (Policy on Research Ethics 2006, 1), it is also based on a vision towards the university in the service of humanity (Research Policy 2006, 3). Thus the Institutional Research Plan (2007) indicates that research should develop knowledge, skills and values necessary for developing the
