Abstract: Technology has redefined education by integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into teaching and learning, transforming classrooms into dynamic, inclusive, and learner-centered ecosystems. ICT tools enable teachers to transition from knowledge transmitters to facilitators, fostering digital literacy, critical thinking, and creativity. By providing personalized learning pathways, improving accessibility for marginalized and differently-abled learners, and enhancing global collaboration, ICT bridges gaps in educational access and quality. Initiatives like India’s DIKSHA platform, Khan Academy, and the African Girls Can Code Programme exemplify the transformative power of technology in addressing socioeconomic disparities and preparing students for a technology-driven future. Additionally, ICT promotes efficiency through digital resource management, real-time analytics, and sustainable practices. This article critically explores the benefits, challenges, and real-world applications of ICT in education, highlighting its role as a catalyst for lifelong learning, inclusivity, and pedagogical innovation.
