Alternative sources of funding ICT resources for OTM programme in polytechnics in Osun state

Abstract

This study sought for possible alternative sources of funding of ICT resources for OTM programme in polytechnics in Osun State. Research question was raised and self developed questionnaire with 17-item was distributed to 26 respondents in the two selected Polytechnics in Osun State. Frequency and mean methods were used in analyzing the data. Findings from the study reveal that government and managements of institutions alone cannot adequately provide ICT resources needed to effectively deliver the contents of OTM curriculum. For the students to acquire necessary skills, as well as to achieve the aims and objectives of introducing the new curriculum, alumni associations, corporate organizations, wealthy individuals and indeed every stakeholders' assistance are urgently needed to fund OTM programme.
