ICT Barriers in South African education

There are many ICT barriers in South African education,especially in rural areas because students lack ICT background.Most of the schools in rural areas don't have computers at all or they are not enough,sometimes learners are not allowed to use the computers whereas they are meant to be used by them.

      Other ICT barriers

• Technological under-development
• Low literacy levels
• Poverty
• Lack of effective training
• Limited resources
• lack of knowledge and skills
• Crowded classrooms

In my school there were computers ,but they were not enough.Only students who were studying CAT were allowed to use those computers,as for some of us we were not even allowed to enter the computer lab.Most of the students who are in rural areas are not under-performing because they are lazy ,but it's because they have nowhere to search information when they are given researches,so i propose that the government introduce training programmes that will ensure that all the teachers are technologically advanced,so that they will be able to teach children basic computer skills.
