The Status of Computer Assisted School Administration and Strategies for its Further Development in Negeri Sembilan Secondary Schools

The tangible advantages of computer use in terms of efficiency and effectiveness have led to an increasing number of schools in Malaysia using computers in administration. Schools, however, are only working on their own initiative. There is as yet no central support or policy for computer assist...
