Abstract: The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in classrooms has emerged as a transformative approach to enhancing student engagement and improving learning outcomes. This study examines the role of ICT tools—such as interactive whiteboards, multimedia presentations, online learning platforms, and digital assessments—in fostering active participation among students. Using a descriptive survey method, data were collected from teachers and students across selected secondary schools to analyze the effectiveness of ICT-enabled teaching practices. The findings reveal that ICT integration significantly increases students’ interest, motivation, and involvement in classroom activities by making learning more interactive, visual, and learner-centered. Moreover, ICT facilitates collaborative learning, instant feedback, and access to diverse educational resources, thereby enriching the overall learning experience. However, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, lack of teacher training, and digital divide issues continue to hinder its optimal utilization. The study concludes that effective implementation of ICT requires proper planning, continuous teacher training, and supportive institutional policies to maximize student engagement and academic success.
