Information and Communication Technology: A Veritable Tool for Securing the Future of Federal College of Education (Technical), Ekiadolor.

 Abstract

This study explores the pivotal role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in enhancing the educational landscape of the Federal College of Education (Technical), Ekiadolor. Recognizing the global shift towards digitalization, the research underscores the necessity for integrating ICT into teaching, learning, and administrative processes. Through a mixed-methods approach involving surveys, interviews, and observational studies, the research identifies current ICT utilization levels, challenges faced, and potential strategies for effective integration. Findings reveal that while there is an awareness of ICT's benefits, infrastructural deficits, limited training, and inadequate funding hinder its optimal use. The study recommends targeted investments in ICT infrastructure, continuous professional development for staff, and the formulation of robust ICT policies to ensure the institution's future readiness.
