1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Information revolution started a number of years ago and the role all the world has been good.
This revolution has brought about convergence of information communication technologies (ICT), which have remained at the centre of global, social and economic transformation.

Islam and Islam (2006) says that ICT as the role and publication of computers, telecommunication and microelectronics in the acquisition, storage, retrieval transfer and dissemination of information in students, academic records.
ICT is a significant development that provides effective took for managing the available of information generated in students, academic records. The prevalence and rapid development of ICT has transformed students’ information technology age to the knowledge.

Before the advent of information and communication technology. (ICT) is students academic records were the sole custodies of information which was predominantly in print. Today students’ academic record is struggling to keep their place as the major source of inquiry in the face of emerging digital technology.
In the modern world, the student’s academic record as information centres can hardly function today without computer and information technologies.
In the overview, the role of information and communication technology (ICT) systems in student’s academic record and information centres in common place all over the world.
