The study investigated School Administrators Perception and Readiness to use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Facilities for Record Management in Secondary Schools in Niger State. The study answered two research questions and tested two null hypotheses. Literatures were reviewed based on the conceptual framework, theoretical framework and empirical studies. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. Out of a population of 4,870 school administrators, a sample size of 360 was used for the study. The reliability coefficient of 0.742 and 0.708were obtained from the two constructs used in the study. The questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection, which was developed by the researcher and validated by different experts. The research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation while t-test statistics was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance, using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 23. The study revealed that there is no significant difference in the perception of public and private school administrators towards the use of ICT facilities for record management (t-value=0.149, p-value=0.881 as such p>0.05). Also, there is no significant difference in the readiness of school administrators in public and private secondary schools towards adopting ICT facilities for record management (t-value=0.104, p-value=0.917 as such p>0.05). Based on the findings, it was recommended that the government should make policies and furnish secondary schools with facilities to aid effective and efficient record management system in secondary schools, which will eventually enhance the productivity of school administrators'. It is also recommended that more staff should be employed in the various schools to manage the ICT facilities to help reduce the rate of unemployment in the country.

With Assembling Understandings, the Canadian Social Economy Hub has developed a thematic summary of the CSERP outputs, exploring some of the dominant crosscutting themes within the research findings. This approach is very similar to a grounded theory approach wherein the authors, while reviewing the various available documents, 'listened' to the data for emerging themes. Care was taken to engage with the work from multiple angles, taking note of both diversity and unity within the body of research. The challenge in this form of research was for the authors to construct each chapter based on what was covered in the research as opposed to the expanse of what can be covered under each theme. In this way, the overall picture provided here is not a complete analysis of Canada's social economy landscape, but rather provides an overview of the CSERP research findings in the following thematic areas: Mapping, Social Enterprise, Co-operatives, Indigenous Peoples, Organizational Governance & Capacity, Social Finance, and Public Policy. Each thematic area had representation in over 50 CSERP projects, with some chapters involving as many as 85 relevant research products. As a result, Assembling Understandings is a useful reference point for both reviewing the available CSERP documents and identifying where further research may be required.
