The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education is crucial for enhancing the quality of teaching and learning. The government of Kerala has been proactive in promoting ICT integration in schools; IT@School Project, was formed in 2001-02 to fuel ICT enabled education in the schools in the state. However, teachers in Kerala face several challenges in effectively using ICT in classrooms. This study explores the major problems faced by teachers, including inadequate access to technological resources, lack of sufficient training, resistance to change, and inadequate technical support. Financial constraints and poor infrastructure further limit the widespread use of ICT. Additionally, the gap between policy and implementation poses difficulties in effectively integrating technology into the curriculum. This paper aims to analyse these barriers and provide recommendations for addressing them, emphasizing the need for better training programs, resource allocation, and supportive infrastructure to enhance teachers' ability to use ICT effectively.
