Demelash Misgana Wase, Research scholar

Abstract
This study discusses the change and challenges of ICT use in secondary schools in Bole Sub City, Addis Ababa. The use of ICT in today's teaching and learning process is essential. Six secondary schools, eighty-seven teachers, six principals, and six department heads served as respondents for the investigation of the study, and information was obtained through questionnaires and interviews. The opinions and stands of department heads, principals, and instructors about the application and difficulties of ICT education in the teaching and learning process were ascertained using the descriptive survey method. The respondents' perceptions and attitudes were examined using the mean score and standard deviation to examine quantitative data. The results demonstrate that, even in cases where ICT is used in schools, significant obstacles exist to overcome. These obstacles include a lack of resources, poor Internet access, power outages, a shortage of time or restricted time for ICT use, a lack of technical support, a lack of funding from the government, and a lack of training.
