financial constraints have really hindered its effectiveness
in schools. This is whereby, due to lack of adequate
facilities, not everyone can have access or even humble
time to use it. On the other hand, financial constraints have
also made it hard for the school to invest on new facilities
or upgrade the current machines to meet the current
standards of ICT.”
