This study aimed at identifying areas of ICT competence and areas of weaknesses among
secondary school teachers. It also identified possible challenges confronting the effective use
of ICTs in classroom instruction in the schools. On the basis of the findings, the study came
up with recommendations likely to contribute towards improving teachers` ICT competences
for the betterment of classroom instructional processes.
education has failed to take off in the majority of schools, primary and secondary, rural and
urban. Given this scenario, it is necessary for this study to look into factors militating against
the introduction of computers in secondary schools. In view of the fact that secondary schools
are immediate sources of manpower for industry and commerce, it is hoped that ICT literacy
could have been taught to students in preparing them for the world of work. This, however,
has not been the case for the majority of secondary school graduates who have gone job
seeking without any knowledge of computers despite the government`s policy to make the
teaching/learning of the subject mandatory.
