This document discusses issues and challenges with integrating information and communication technology (ICT) into teaching and learning in Malaysian schools. Some key challenges identified include lack of ICT training for teachers, high maintenance costs of hardware and software, and unequal access between urban and rural students. Potential solutions proposed are providing more ICT training for teachers, using locally-developed software and technicians to reduce costs, and improving rural access to ICT and training to reduce the urban-rural divide.

cost of maintenance in ICT?
4. Why don’t teachers used both manually and
technologically approach in teaching?

8. 5. How can the teachers make sure that their students
