The Integration of Information Communication Technology in Rural Schools in the Savelugu Nanton District

ABSTRACT

This study looks at efforts being made by the Ministry of Education and other education stakeholders to address the ICT situation in some schools based in Savelugu Nanton in the Northern Region of Ghana. The study highlights the plight of schools in rural areas where the lack of basic amenities such as adequate accommodation, furniture, water, etc. is the order of the day. The target population for the study was teachers and students in Senior and Junior high school within the Savelugu Nanton District . Two schools from both Senior and Junior high school were selected using random sampling technique. The research design employed was a descriptive survey. The data was collected through the means of a questionnaire, analyzed by the use of frequency tables as well as percentages. The study concludes that a number of challenges are impeding integration. These include: lack of resources, lack of training in ICT and inadequate support from the Ministry of Education for the implementation of any e-Education policy. The main recommendation of the study is that since all schools have not attained the same level of ICT integration, there should be a clearly defined audit to determine what is needed and how it should be provided
