Usage of Information Technology in Government Schools(A Study on Selected Government Schools in Andhra Pradesh)

The phrase Information Technology refers to the creation gathering processing storage and delivery of information and the process and devices that make all this possible information technology can do at least three things. Information Technology can process raw data in to useful information, information technology can recycle processed information and use it as data in another processing step and information technology can package information in a new form so it's easier to understand, more attractive, or more useful. Information technology stands firmly on two legs hardware and software. The term hardware is applied to any of the physical equipment in a system, usually containing electronic components and performing some kind of function in information processing. Hardware includes not only the computer and devices such as screens printers but also all the elements used to tie information systems together. In this study I have chosen these four objectives i.e. to examine the growth and development of School Education in India, to study the usage of Information Technology in Government Schools in the state of Andhra Pradesh, to assess the impact of Information Technology on students in Government schools and to analyze the perceptions of respondents regarding usage of Information Technology in Government Schools in Andhra Pradesh.
