Part 1: Understanding ICT Integration in South African Schools (40 marks)

1. Define ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) and explain why

its integration is crucial in the context of South African education. [10]

ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) refers to the use of technology

to manage and process information. This includes computers, the internet, and other

digital tools that facilitate communication and information sharing. In the context of

South African education, the integration of ICT is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it

can enhance the quality of education by providing students with access to a wide

range of online resources and educational materials. Secondly, it can help to bridge

the digital divide by providing students in underserved areas with access to

technology and the internet. Finally, ICT integration can also help to develop

students' digital literacy and prepare them for the demands of the modern workforce.




2. Identify and elaborate on three significant challenges faced by South African

schools when integrating ICTs into their educational framework. Provide
