Abstract

Examines the level of competency and proficiency in Information Communication Technology (ICT) among educators in secondary schools. This study investigates various dimensions of ICT proficiency, including technological skills, pedagogical integration, and attitudes towards technology. Through surveys, interviews, and observation, the research assesses teachers' ability to effectively use ICT tools in their teaching practices and explores the challenges they encounter in integrating technology into classroom instruction. The findings offer insights into strategies for enhancing ICT proficiency among secondary school teachers and improving the quality of technology-enhanced education.
