  16. MAJOR ISSUES AND CHALLENGES • Computers are not used primarily for intended curricular purpose most of it they are being used as glorified typewrites. • The computers provided are equipped with fast processors and fairly recent operating systems where some of the teachers cannot keep up. • In other cases, computers that are provided are not up to date.

  24. FUTURE DIRECTIONS • The teachers can visit institutions where the ICT is already being integrated. • Making action research by trying out various models of technology integration and publishing the result of the same.

  25.
