Every organization needs good records that show where its money comes from, where it goes, and how the organization is performing financially. The system used for this purpose is called the organization's accounting system. Until recently, much of the work in keeping accounting records was drudgery. It involved copying numbers from one form to another, adding up columns of numbers, summarizing these numbers, and constantly double-checking to prevent errors. With the introduction of computers, large companies could free their bookkeepers from much of this drudgery. The computer did the copying, adding, summarizing, and error checking more quickly and less expensively than the bookkeepers whom it replaced.

Malala Yousafzai has called for a state of emergency for education to be declared in Nigeria. On Monday, the 20-year-old Nobel Prize winner met with the acting president of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, to discuss the importance of investing in children’s education in the region. The human rights activist is visiting the West African country as part of her #GirlPowerTrip, where she plans to visit Africa, North America, the Middle East, Latin America and Europe in order to meet girls and learn about their fight to go to school.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) In 2007, the Nigerian Government added Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to the basic education curriculum. However, power failures, insufficient computer systems and unskilled teachers have contributed to the lack of ICT knowledge among children in public primary schools. ICT is important because it contributes to equity in education, improves the delivery of quality learning and teaching, teachers' professional development and more efficient education management, governance and administration.
