ICT barriers at schools in South Africa
Technology keeps on improving whilst ICT at schools is poor especially at rural areas schools.There are barriers that prevent students coming from rural areas to be competent when it comes to using computers.Some schools have lack of reliable access to electricity, making it impossible to have computers that can function during school hours.
During my school days at primary we never had access to computers only our teachers used them to print out assignments and other things. When I went to high school there were computers but we never took attending their classes seriously.
Some of the barriers of ICT are: crowded classrooms, limited technology infrastructure(especially internet access), inadequate training and language of instruction most likely to the younger ones at rural areas. The government must make an effort to supply schools with computers for easy access to the outside world.
