The components of a system and the Nigerian schools as a system have been highlighted. Management of information and data using computers in the Nigerian school, their importance and significant have been identified. The adoption of integrated payroll system and primary utilization of computer to store data are found to be the major areas where computer function most in the Nigerian School system. The authors viewed administrative imagination, lack of training programmes and poor funding as the major problems militating against the ultimate utilization of computer in the Nigerian schools.

Key words: Nigerian school system, computer, prospect and problem.
