Education and Human Capital Development through Appropriate Utilisation of Information Services

Abstract

The study examines education and human capital development through appropriate utilisation of information services. The paper is essentially a descriptive analysis of the state of education and human development in Delta state and assesses the readiness of Delta state government on the development of education and human capital. The study from various literature consulted revealed that government contribution to education and human capital development is inadequate and maintain that government use of information machineries and services are unsatisfactory and so beneficiaries of education and human capital are starved. In view of the above, it was recommended that Delta state government should increase her budgetary allocation to education and adopt appropriate strategies for training and retraining of teachers in all categories of academic institutions in Delta state and also overhaul her information service delivery machinery.
