Abstract

The purpose of the study is to evaluate abilities of secondary school teachers to use Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and its availability in school. Questionnaires are used for data collection. Total 100 questionnaires were distributed to secondary school teachers, in which all of them were completed and returned. Collected data was analyzed and presented in percentage and also in tabular form for better understanding. Result was deduced and conclusion was interpreted after the analysis of data. The study reports that use of computer and internet exist between the teachers of different age groups and various backgrounds. The overall finding of the study reports that teachers are quite aware of ICT tools but are moderately using ICT for professional purposes. The study also revealed some challenges facing ICT in secondary schools as: irregular power supply: inadequate computer literate teachers; high cost of purchasing computers in schools; inadequate facilities to support full application of the ICT and lack of fund.
