It also examined availability of the gadgets used to enhance the operation of the system and the relationship between schools with functional computer laboratories and schools without the laboratories. The survey method was used to gather information. The simple sampling was used to select subjects. The respondents or research subjects were SS3 students drawn from grade "A" private schools in 10 different states in the northern part of the country. 10 students from each state got their questionnaire via email through their school principals. Data were analyzed using simple percentage. The analysis revealed that most schools in the north still face a lot of challenges like inadequate computer laboratories, shortage of power supply, lack wide internet coverage, diversion of attention especially among teenagers are problems to contend with. From the hypotheses tested the result showed that students especially teenagers find it difficult to concentrate as they are used to the physical classroom, it also revealed that retention is a problem as they get distracted due to irregular power supply and shortage of internet bandwidth. It also revealed that if the issue of trust, monitoring, power supply and making internet services free can be improved, online education can become an acceptable norm among our students in the secondary school.**Statement****Dear scholars, Dr. Allison Qiu is a director at Journal of American Academic Research, USA (JAAR publishing center): www.american-journals.com**She is also the administrator for the ResearchGate account at JAAR publishing center, so she is not one of the authors of any listed articles (published at JAAR) at ResearchGate.**Please don't misunderstand it because her name will show in all articles ( published at JAAR publishing center) listed in ResearchGate.
