Abstract
The study, focused on the Assessment of the Competence of Computer Education Teachers in Junior Secondary Schools in Onueke Education Zone in Ebonyi State. The main purpose of the study was to assess the competence of computer education teachers in the zone understudy. Three research questions guided the study. Questionnaire was used to collect data and was analyzed using mean and standard deviation. This study utilized a survey research design. A survey research design is one in which a group of people or items are studied by collecting and analyzing the data from a selected people or items considered to be representative of the entire group. According to the teachers list of the schools selected for the study, 370 secondary school computer education teachers made it into the sampling frame.
