he numerical system known as information is the one that is most often used for encoding and decoding textual information on computers. It is the response to an inquiry of some type, from which further information and comprehension may be gained (Ware, 2022).

mpact: A marked effect or influence. School budgeting: The school budget may be described as the process of preparing a statement of anticipated revenue and the proposed expenditure over a period of time.
