Abstract
Today's society is witnessing the continuous growth of Information Communication Technology (ICT) as a computer-centric lifestyle. This includes the rapid integration of computers in modern classrooms. ICT helps teachers incorporate effective strategies for using technology in the classroom, and it supports the development and distribution of free and open digital educational content. However, there are challenges associated with the use of ICT in education, such as potential moral decay and the hindrance of basic mental arithmetic skills. Despite these challenges, ICT plays a crucial role in improving access, quality, and cost of education. It expands access to education, improves its quality, reduces costs, and creates employment opportunities within the education system. ICT also enhances learning through interaction, collaboration, and flexible access to information resources.
