The computed F-statistic is also higher than table value at 99% level of significance indicating that there is a presence of relationship, as adjusted  R^2 : 0.6409.  The observed adjusted R^2 shows that theperceived issues of independent variable are affected to the extent of 64.09 %. It shows that the variation in dependent variable is explained to 53% by the variables of independent variables included in the model.Therefore, , implying that information, communication, learning attitude, Technology available and Curriculum Demand (CD) has significant impact on need of technology for management education ( NTME).
