Time is ripe for some serious consideration to be given to the introduction of ICT-based education at various levels. The use of ICTs in education takes many forms including: the use of ICTs as learning tools, use in capacity building of teachers, use in distant learning, use in technical education, and use in dissemination of information on best practices. ICTs can be used as a potent medium to reach education to the excluded groups in society. The use of ICTs as learning tools can supplement and strengthen the institutional system since it can encourage self dependence and creative learning, besides providing new tools for enriching the student-teacher interface.
