Limitations of ICT Infrastructures in the Implementation of ICT Policy in Public Secondary Schools in Urambo District Council, Tanzania

This study sought to analyse ICT infrastructure limitations in the implementation of ICT policy in public secondary schools in the Urambo District Council in the Tabora region in Tanzania. The study employed a qualitative research approach with a case study design and a sample of 40 research respondents selected through purposive and simple random sampling. Questionnaires and interview guides were used to collect data. The data were analysed through thematic analysis and descriptive statistics. Resource-based theory, developed by Jay Barney in 1991, underpinned the study. Infrastructure limitations hindering the implementation of ICT policy are a lack of computer laboratories, biogas and wind power, among others. The study recommends that policymakers and the government are to ensure the availability of materials and resources. Also, school administrators are to manage and ensure the availability of resources for the satisfactory implementation of the ICT policy. Finally, further researchers could investigate the level of implementation of ICT policy in private secondary schools
