Abstract: In recent years, the impact of information communication technology (ICT) on education and society in general has grown substantially and therefore it’s considered main enabler of achieving vision 2030 and sustainable development goals (SDGs). This study sought to demystify the use of ICT in teaching and learning in day secondary schools. The specific objectives were to: find out the resources mobilized by boards of management; determine the status of ICT usage and establish the merits of ICT in the teaching/learning and running of day secondary school activities. The study employed cross-sectional survey design to randomly sample 22 principals of secondary schools and teachers. The study established that majority of the teachers had a smart phone that was compatible with ICT and internet facilities and; that the wi-fi internet connectivity in schools was limited to principal’s office only and linked with closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras to secure the school against intruders. It concluded that ICT promotes student-centered learning, helps in cooperative learning, promotes higher order thinking and problem-solving, and improves the effectiveness and efficiency of school management. The study recommends that schools board of management and parents association work together to consolidate resources to equip their schools with ICT facilities.
