Abstract:
This study assess the adoption and use of ICT in teaching and learning in secondary schools in Ghana. The
qualitative research method was used in this study. The research established that the ages and gender of the respondents
largely affected their adoption and usage of ICT as the students, young and male teachers had more knowledge and interest
in the use of ICT for teaching and learning. There was disparities in the provision of computers and ICT facilities at the
secondary schools as the schools in the urban areas had some ICT facilities although they were found to be inadequate, not
properly ventilated, not spacious and have poor lightening system. However, some of the teachers were having their own
computers for use although they always do not use them for teaching and learning. As a result, the impact of ICT in teaching
and learning at the secondary schools were minimal.
