The are so many ICT barriers in South African Education especially in African schools that are affect teaching and learning
TYPES OF BARRIERS
- Lack of reliable access to electricity
- Limited technology infrastructure
- Poor internet connection
- Poverty
- high crime rate
In my school we did have ICT but we were forbidden to use them due to poor knowledge,beside that we didn't have teachers who where technologically advance.We didn't see how important ICT was back then because we were not told about it at all,mostly we used our phones to access the internet but it was only does who had phones.In my community crime is high and we had poor security at our school so they stole the few computer we had .
It was a great loss to the school because they had to go and ask assistance to other schools in terms of typing documents and so on.The community never stood up for that because they also didn't know much about ICT ,i think it is very important for the government to introduce ICT in African schools.so the learners can get used to ICT. Now life is about technology so i feel that its about time all African school to use technology for teaching and learning to make life easy for everyone.
