Introduction:
The fundamental focus of Pakistan secondary school educational system needs to be reevaluated,
and it must come to terms with the fact that learning is not equivalent to cramming. As
Januizewski and Molenda (2008) pointed out, ICTs (Information and Communication
Technologies) are becoming increasingly integral to modern systems. Various sectors, including
healthcare, education, and entertainment, rely heavily on information and communication
technologies (ICTs) like the internet, television, radio, mobile phones, networks, etc. Since the
turn of the century, educators have had to tackle a plethora of social, cultural, technical, and
economic challenges. Through the development of novel approaches, methods, and technologies,
educational technology is facilitating the elimination of all these issues by making learning and
teaching simpler and more accessible.
ICTs, or information and communication technologies, have played a significant role in the
development of today's technological landscape. In many sectors, including healthcare,
education, and entertainment, ICTs including the internet, television, radio, mobile phones,
networks, etc. play crucial roles. Since the turn of the century, educators have had to tackle a
wide range of issues related to society, culture, technology, and the economy. By creating novel
approaches, methods, and technologies to improve the efficiency of education, educational
technology contributes to the elimination of these issues (Januizewski & Molenda, 2008). New

tools can help with instruction in all subject areas and facilitate better dialogue between
educators and their students in ways that were previously impossible.
Research Question:
Following Research Questions for my study:
1. What is the use of ICT in Secondary Schools of Pakistan?
2. How ICT can help in improving the learning of secondary school students.
3. How students are demonstrating progress in their studies and attaining higher levels of
competence with the aid of information and communication technologies?
Literature Review:
"Information and Communication Technology” or "ICT” is used as an abbreviation. This term is
used to describe a group of technologies that allow for the transmission of information.
Technology that is comparable to IT but focuses mostly on improvements in communication. All
forms of electronic communication are included here, from the internet to remote offices to
mobile phones. This opens up new possibilities for incorporating ICT into teacher preparation
programs and improving teacher quality in order to more effectively impart knowledge to
students. "ICT is a logical, innovative and designing discipline and the board method employed
in taking care of data, its application, and relationship to social, financial, and social concerns,"
as stated by UNESCO. In modern society, teachers make up the backbone of the educational
system. Creative students can be molded by skilled educators into the next generation's greatest
public servants, legislators, artists, thinkers, etc. K. Ratheeswari (2018).
"ICT can boost students' intellectual talents through higher order thinking, problem solving,
improved communication skills, and thorough comprehension of the learning tool and the
subjects to be taught," writes Aladejana (2007, p.114). Through the use of ICT, we can foster a
more collaborative and engaging classroom setting, connect students to new learning
communities, and provide them with the resources they need to succeed.
Secondary School in Pakistan need a well-rounded education that includes the capacity to work
effectively in a digital environment. Students in innovation-rich environments who have had a
solid education, are numerate, and can think critically are better equipped to transition from
simple Web uses to more sophisticated ones, maximizing their potential to reap the benefits of
