Information Communication Technology is transforming education, necessitating teachers' competence and understanding of technical, curricular, administrative, and social dimensions to effectively integrate ICT programs in education. The study aimed to assess teachers' ICT integration and learners' 21st-century skills in the selected districts of the Division of Misamis Oriental during the School Year 2023-2024. The study sought to describe the respondents’ characteristics; assess the level of teachers’ ICT integration; examine the level of learners’ 21st-century skills; and determine the significant relationship between teachers’ ICT integration and learners’ 21st-century skills; test the significant difference in the respondent’s ICT integration and 21st-century skills when grouped according to their characteristics; and develop an intervention plan on ICT integration based on the findings of the study. It involved two hundred three (203) teachers and four hundred six (406) learners in public secondary schools of the aforesaid division employing a universal sampling procedure with a patterned and modified questionnaire from a Merillo and Domingo (2019) study. The descriptive-correlational method was used to evaluate the sample, with multiple correlation analyses and F-tests used to test the relationship between teachers' ICT integration and learners' 21st-century skills. The study found that teachers can create dynamic learning environments by incorporating relevant content and tools, but limited digital media exposure may affect 21st-century skills. Further, ICT integration enhances learning by making it interactive, promoting active learning, teamwork, and exploration. However, geographical location, limited ICT tools, and lack of exposure to different tools pose significant barriers for some learners. Moreover, it is recommended that teachers should utilize the intervention plan to enhance ICT integration and learners can develop basic multimodal literacy skills.
