Integration of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in educational management has become one of the most effective factors that lead to provision of quality education worldwide. Thus, as schools are increasingly becoming ICT-mediated environments, the head teachers’ role as far as promoting their use and integration for teaching, learning and management cannot be gainsaid. Incidentally, most of the public primary schools in Tinderet Sub County are still stuck in the inefficient non digital management approach albeit having the basic ICT infrastructure. The purpose of the study was to establish the relationship between the level of head teachers’ ICT literacy and the level of ICT integration in public primary school management in Tinderet Sub County. The study was to specifically establish the relationship between the head teacher ICT literacy and ICT integration in communication, teaching and learning, financial management, and management of human resource data. The study was premised on diffusion of innovations theory by Everett Rodgers. The study employed a correlational research design. The study targeted 124 principals and 124 senior teachers from 124 public primary schools in Tinderet Sub County.
