GAUGE THE READINESS OF
TRANSFORMATION TO SMART SCHOOLS
FOR IRAQI SCHOOLS
THAIR A. KADHIM
Head of Information and Communications section,
General Directorate of Education,
(GDE) in Babylon–Iraq
ABSTRACT
The concept known as smart school represents an expected advance in the
age of information; it alters the very foundation of the teaching-learning
process, teacher-student tasks and roles, and the integration of information
technology and curriculum. This work intends to estimate the preparedness of
transformation secondary schools of the General Directorate of Education
(GDE) in Babylon-Iraq to the smart schools. The work is not regarded as an
experimental work; it is instead defined as being descriptive-analytical. Data
was gathered via questionnaires supplied by the Database of (GDE) in
Babylon. The population being studied in the preliminary questionnaire is
made up of principals, technology experts, and teachers who are currently
teaching at secondary schools of Babylon province. The questionnaire’s
validity and reliability are gauged via content validity and Cronbach alpha
formula. The results from this study can minimize the time and associated
costs to utilize of modern technologies to teach; where teachers and
stakeholders are expected to learn more and enjoy it compared to the
traditional approach to teaching. It was also proven that public secondary
schools in Babylon are quite ready to utilize this approach from the
perspective of both teachers and staff. This is evident despite the presence of
obvious challenges, such as the lack of the infrastructure and the ability of
teachers and staff to use technological tools as well as the schools are
required a strong, successful, and an inclusive plan which serves as a
roadmap to standardize the different eLearning projects in the education
sector to transform Iraqi schools to smart schools.
Keywords: Smart Schools, ICT, integrating technology, teaching and learning

1. INTRODUCTION
A Smart School is defined as an educational establishment that utilizes instructional
processes and educational management practices that encourages systemic changes
that will allow its learners to solve challenges that are common to the era of ICT
(Zahra, 2015; Wan, 2009). These schools have undergone systemic reorganization,
especially in the context of teaching, learning practices, and school management. In
the frame of the information age, a smart school is expected to constantly evolve
based on needs, with changes to its professional staff, educational resources, and
administrative capabilities. This evolution needs to occur simultaneously alongside
student developments to prepare them for a world characterized by ICT (Markoe et
al., 2014).
New York Smart Schools Commission Report by Geoffrey (2014 ) confirms that a
successful evolution to smart schools will require adequate physical and human
infrastructure. First and foremost, schools will require sufficient broadband access and
wireless networking, while also ensuring that their staff and teachers are properly
trained to deal with this transition in their respective classes. Other researchers, such
as(Kalantarnia, et al., 2012; Mohammed et al., 2013) supported the aforementioned
report, and opined that school districts are required to engage in a strong, successful
planning process to guarantee the pinnacle of academic outcomes via an infusion of
technology. This whole process must include stakeholders, generate buy-in, plan for
contingencies and sustainability, and, perhaps most importantly, allow for rapid
alterations in the event of a failure or unexpected catastrophes. This is due to the fact
that even the best plans might run into something unexpected along the way, and the
ones that will benefit the most are the schools that are able to face these problems
head on.
The challenges that are familiar to both students and teachers in their respective
utilization of ICT are mostly in the context of administrative execution and
infrastructures. School inspectors are more concerned with course content and test
scores, as opposed to ICT usage (Jo Shan, 2013 ); the lack of proper administrative
support to effectively utilize ICT (Lim 2007); mandates from the administration
pertaining to better test results, all of which diverted focus from utilizing ICT to
prompt students to participate in higher-order thinking activities (Goktas, Yildirim
and Yildirim 2009); the absence of a suitable course content, instructional programs,
hardware, software, and materials (Jo Shan, 2013).
There are certain barriers that needs to be overcome to ensure seamless integration
of technology from a teachers’ point of view, such as lowered expectations from
teachers and the absence of a defined goals for utilizing ICT in schools (Jo Shan, 2013
);the absence of teacher participation or pedagogical support, along with the lack of
knowledge on the part of the teachers who do cooperate (Ertmer and Otternbreit-
Leftwich 2010);the lack of time required to develop skills in current software of the
integration of ICT in classes (Almekhlafi and Almeqdadi 2010);unable to manage
teaching materials (Jo Shan, 2013); software incompetence and complacency in
students’ learning approaches(Goktas, Yildirim and Yildirim 2009);lack of
knowledge in the use of ICT for teaching (Honan 2008);no specific knowledge on
technology and unable to integrate it with existing pedagogical content knowledge for
teaching students (Hutchison and Reinking 2011);too much emphasis on imparting
knowledge on technical or operational skills as opposed to course content (Lim
2007);being expected to increase score in national examinations (Jo Shan, 2013 );the
absence of motivation to effectively utilize ICT (Tezci 2011a);the absence of an in-

service training upon the utilization of ICT (Jo Shan, 2013);the presence of technical
problems in relation to the class (Jo Shan, 2013);ineffective classroom management,
especially for the larger classes (Tezci 2011a);unmotivated workforce due to the lack
of technical and financial support (Jo Shan, 2013 );doubt some of the advantages of
utilizing ICT in the class (Jo Shan, 2013 ); and finally the absence of a detailed idea
on how the integration of technology will enhance students’ learning (Jo Shan, 2013).
The Commission filed a report (2014) (available online at
www.smartschoolsny.com), while researchers such as Jo Shan (2013), MDC (2012),
Zaleha (2011), and Geoffrey (2014)agreed on seven (7) keysto the successful
implementation of the smart school concept: (1) Embrace and expand online learning,
which will break down geographic barriers, provide access to the best sources of
instruction in the world, and level the playing field for students in rural and smaller
school districts. (2) Utilize transformative technologies, such as tablets, laptops, and
interactive whiteboards to deliver differentiated instruction tailored to students’
specific abilities and needs that lets them learn and advance at their own pace. (3)
Connect every school to high-speed broadband using technology that is capable of
scaling up over time and deliver sufficient wireless capability to serve every student.
(4) Extend connectivity beyond the four walls of the classroom so students from all
backgrounds have equal access to the information superhighway. (5) Provide high-
quality, continuous professional development to teachers, principals, and staff to
ensure successful integration of technology into the teaching and learning experience.
(6) Focus on demandsin the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)
skills through addressing education policy and curriculum choices in schools to
improve competitiveness in technology development to ensure that students graduate
with 21st century skills. (7) Plan, plan, and plan again.
2. OVERVIEW OF ELEARNING PROJECTS IN IRAQ
UNESCO’s annual accounts (2011), titled “The Hidden Crisis: Armed Conflict and
Learning,” confirms that nations in the Middle East, which include Iraq, will not be
able to achieve their Millennium Development Goals (MDG) in the near future, due to
its current status and conditions. UNESCO pointed out factors, such as former UN
allowances, poor safety, and a fragile financial environment as preventing Iraq’s
desire towards realizing learning and literacy goals. Certain General Directorate of
Education (GDEs) in Iraq successfully implemented small projects, such as the
electronic classes and smart board, which are collaborative projects with the
government, local officials, and community-based organizations. The ones who took
actions are convinced that these projects represent a large scientific step in keeping
pace with developed countries while also helping to decrease the burden on the
students by eliminating the need for textbooks, which will duly be replaced by an
electronic curriculum facilitator.
Electronic classes are regarded as newly implemented technology, which are
currently being used in schools in and around Baghdad as a springboard towards the
full implementation of electronic learning in education. This project is endorsed by
the Education Ministry and executed by iCube Development Company, which is in
charge of designing a program for students that would eventually substitute
schoolbooks. Students are expected to do their work ona computerized active board,
which would link them to their teachers and help them complete their homework. The
government of Iraq pointed out that the introduction of technology to schools
represents their effort in increasing the level of education in Iraq. Other Iraqi schools
Thair A. Kadhim
http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 50 editor@iaeme.com
will eventually adopt this pilot plan, and this first step is intended to close the huge
gap between the education levels in Iraq and the world (MoE-Iraq, 2015).
There are also other small projects being implemented in Iraqi schools, among
them the Electronic library. Tentative analysis showed the amount of books borrowed
is increasing, especially on scientific, literary and cultural topics. This necessitates the
establishment of a comprehensive digital library, which will help spread knowledge
and culture at a faster rate. The smart school project is currently not a part of the Iraqi
school system; instead, it is represented by a decentralized effort from individuals or
organizations in seeding the idea of a smart school in an Iraqi context
(Ibid).Furthermore, the programmers, education staff, and students are all involved in
designing computer programs that will help archive student records, which eliminate
the need for a manual filing system. However, these programs are still not up to par,
and lag behind their peers in other countries, especially in terms of bookkeeping and
grade records.
3. METHODOLOGY
Data from current published work, books, and reports are gathered and read to
comprehend the latest situation pertaining to ICT development in Iraqi school
education. This study uses a quantitative approach to collect data from the database of
the General Directorate of Education (GDE) in Babylon-Iraq via a questionnaire,
while the qualitative method involves conducting interviews with key stakeholders of
the ICT transformation process in the Babylon Province (policy makers, head
teachers, and senior teachers). The data are then statistically analyzed to determine
relationships and associations using Cronbach/SPSS tools. This study used data from
three sources; document study, survey, and interviews with teachers and
policy/decision makers.
This research involves the seven steps shown in (Figure 2) for data analysis. SPSS
is regarded as the perfect tool to key in data, creating new variables, performing
Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), and performing formal statistical analyses, and
thus SPSS was used for data analysis.
Data Collection: After identifying potential respondents, the questionnaires were
mailed out to them. A covering letter and the permission letter from the GDE in
Babylon requested that the respondent complete the questionnaire in the span of 2
weeks. The head of information and communication section of the schools were
expected to collect and return the questionnaire forms. The data were collected from
the respondents themselves, and the relevancy of the data was reliable, as the
researcher collected it.

http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 51 editor@iaeme.com
Document Study: The document study conducted in Babylon province resulted in the
following; 114 computer laboratories are present in 175 secondary schools (53
schools have their own independent laboratory and 61 schools share their laboratories
with other schools). This indicated that from all secondary schools (319), there are
205 (64%) that lack their own computing laboratories. Furthermore, 144 secondary
schools (45%) lack computing facilities. In contrast, there are 175 secondary schools
(55%) possessing independent computing facilities.
Survey: This formula is reliable to 95% and less than 5% deviation factor. The
Formula is:n=N/ [1+Ne2
], where: e=deviation of sampling, N=size of population,
n=size of sampling, the is Formulation: n=11174/[1+(11174 x (0.05)2
]=
11174/[1.84]= 386.1759=386
Therefore, the sampling size is 386 samples. The target population group of the
questionnaire is the secondary schools' teaching staff in Babylon province. A
questionnaire of 27 questions (Dhiaa, 2014) was distributed to 386 teachers, with 347
being returned. 13 responses were excluded due not being complete; hence, the total
number of actual completed forms is334.
Data Analysis: The data was analyzed using the SPSS program “Statistical Package
for the Social Science” to obtain research statistic. Descriptive test was used to
explain the respondents’ background, the knowledge level of the respondents in using
ICT, attitude towards the use of ICT, use of ICT among respondents and challenges or
obstacles faced by them in order to gauge the readiness of their schools in
implementing the smart schools project.
4. EXISTING ICT INFRASTRUCTURE
The Directorate also has a program to provide schools with technical support, either
directly from the Ministry, or through private providers.The aim of data analysis from
the available document in Secondary Schools GDE of Babylon – 2015 is to gauge the
status of ICT infrastructure at the schools in Babylon.
The analysis has established the following: In the Babylon governorate, the
education sector has 188 computer laboratories; they are distributed to 252 schools
(53 schools have their own independent laboratory and 61 schools shared their
laboratories with other schools). Hence, this means that there are 181 secondary
schools without their own independent laboratories. In addition, secondary schools
(49.05%) are without access to computers; in the contrast, 188 secondary schools
(35.63%) have independent access to computers. Figure3shows the existing computer
laboratories in the Babylon secondary schools.

Generally, documents study and database of e-learning section show that access to
the Internet, servers, and communication in the secondary schools is rather poor.
There are only two schools (0.54%) equipped with a Local Area Network (LAN) and
servers; four schools (1.08%) have access to the internet; low levels of software usage
is also evident, with only seven schools (2.17%) having the software to manage their
activities, as shown in Figure 4. The documents’ results also revealed that the
infrastructure of ICT in schools activities is rather low.
Furthermore, there are various ICT tools available. These tools include personal
computer desktop, laptop, data show, scanner, printer, smart board, and phone lines.
Figure 5 shows the number of available IT technology tools used in secondary schools
of Babylon Governorate and the number of each per school. Certain ICT tools exert
their own respective influence upon Education. These are important tools in fostering
successful ICT initiatives. The total number of PC is (3234), distributed among 369
schools, which means that the average number of computers is 8.76 computers per
school. This gives an average of 1PC to 54.08 students, basically implying that most
students are only minimally in contact with the computers at their respective schools.
The computer department maintains a record of all schools in the GDE of
Babylon-Iraq, including numbers of students, classes, labs, computers, printers, and
other relevant data. Annually, the directorate produces a report on the student-to-
computer ratios in all government schools in Babylon. They use the data as a guide to
show the number and percentage of schools having a student-to-computer ratio of
under 10:1 to more than 40:1. The following is the reported results for secondary
schools in the academic year 2014-2015 (Figure 6).
Gauge the readiness of transformation to smart schools for Iraqi schools
http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 53 editor@iaeme.com
In addition, the number of personal computers (PCs) of each laboratory is
different, as shown in Figure 7. Secondary schools that do not have PCs are 172
(46.61%); without PCs, they lack access to other technology tools; 107 secondary
schools have the maximum number of PCs, which is between 21 and 25, while the
minimum number of schools having PCs falls between 16 and 20.
In rural schools, students are not getting proper ICT-based education due to the
lack of ICT infrastructure. Internet connection is unavailable in remote areas, and the
number of IT tools is very low, so the government should ensure that an adequate
amount of computers and Internet connectivity, especially in rural schools, are
available in order to facilitate the ICT based education for rural school students.
Figure 8 shows the IT tools in secondary schools in Babylon.

Iraqi schools cannot be classified as having implemented ICT, due to the lack of
ICT and network infrastructures and communications, and the antiquated management
approach, especially by the government. The results showed that the current allotted
educational budget is inadequate, and should be increased. This is because there are
no instructional media and educational technologies being offered till now; hence, the
educational sector standards, especially in schools, must be changed according to the
practice and standards of international schools. The results on gauging the readiness
of embracing ICT in schools and the education sector are illustrated in Table 1.

5. EXISTING TEACHING STAFF
There are 11174 teachers in the General Directorate of Education (GDE) in Babylon,
while the number of ICT teachers are only 404; 58 of them are currently not working
for many reasons (sick, pregnant, and maternity leave), which means that the actual
number of ICT teachers presently working is 346. In other words, the mean of actual
ICT teacher/ students is (0.002), actual ICT teacher/ classes are (0.078), and actual
ICT teacher/ schools are (0.840).
The ICT skills of teachers and staff in most of the schools are inadequate in the
context of implementing ICT in the schools. This is mainly due to their incompetence
in using software and communication tools. Low-level ICT use could provide a good
starting point, and this adjustment will come once the capability of the teachers and
administrators in the educational sector are further developed. The interpretation of
percentage for this part of the finding is based on these classifications, where
Excellent (90-100%), Very good (80-89%), Good (60-79%), and Poor (0-59%)
(Amer, 2010). These distinctions are used to represent the respondent’s knowledge
with regards to a particular statement. The results of the teachers’ readiness to use
ICT in education are shown in Table 2.

6. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
There are 54.8 students per computer on average in GDE –Babylon. Low ratios of
student-to-laptops in Babylon; its only 538 laptops are available to secondary schools,
with no access to tablet and net books. Also, 154 interactive boards are available on
average, translating to 0.4 interactive boards per school. Lownumber of data
projector; 0.46 per school; 1011 student per data projector. Most secondary schools
(98.02%) lack Internet connection; they failed to fulfill the minimum acceptable level
for websites, emails for students and teachers, a local area network (LAN), or a virtual
learning environment. Generally, lack of own personnel (whether teachers or
technical support staff) who play a large part in maintaining the growing amount of
ICT equipment in schools and lack of ability for teachers and staff to utilize software
and communication tools. Additionally, no overall relationship was found between
high levels of ICT provision and student and teacher confidence, use, and attitudes.
Furthermore, most eLearning projects in the education sector are sporadic projects,
there is a need for the establishment of a comprehensive plan that will help minimize
time and associated costs.

7. CONCLUSION
In a modern era of rapid changes pertaining to information and technology, the
process of teaching and learning is fast changing. Using ICT in education has been
proposed to increase education quality, expansion of learning chances, and increase
accessibility of education beyond the classroom. Smart school revamped teaching and
school management via capturing technological utilities. The application of the smart
school concept leads to increased stakeholders’ participation. Gauging the readiness
of schools for the implementation of smart schools is quite useful, and the results can
be built upon to develop a comprehensive plan, in collaboration with stakeholders and
in accordance with the available material and technical capabilities.
Based on the results, most secondary schools in GDE-Babylon lack electronic
infrastructure. Teacher skills are quite basic, and most of them require extensive
training in ICT. However, it was also established that teachers are more than
enthusiastic in using technological tools, and receptive to the idea of shifting towards
learning, although some of them do not seem keen on the idea. According to the
findings from the survey, this study suggest that supporting and developing teachers
could be as important as providing the technology; this is especially true at a level
where infrastructure provision is adequate. Furthermore, the number of ICT teachers
is inadequate, and more than half of the schools lack them and technical support,
making it difficult to implement the smart school project there. In addition, the
standardization of electronic projects in the education sector needs to be done via a
comprehensive plan in order to minimize time and associated costs.

KADHIM Head of Information and Communications section, General Directorate of Education, (GDE) in Babylon–Iraq ABSTRACT The concept known as smart school represents an expected advance in the age of information; it alters the very foundation of the teaching-learning process, teacher-student tasks and roles, and the integration of information technology and curriculum. This work intends to estimate the preparedness of transformation secondary schools of the General Directorate of Education (GDE) in Babylon-Iraq to the smart schools. The work is not regarded as an experimental work; it is instead defined as being descriptive-analytical. Data was gathered via questionnaires supplied by the Database of (GDE) in Babylon. The population being studied in the preliminary questionnaire is made up of principals, technology experts, and teachers who are currently teaching at secondary schools of Babylon province. The questionnaire’s validity and reliability are gauged via content validity and Cronbach alpha formula. The results from this study can minimize the time and associated costs to utilize of modern technologies to teach; where teachers and stakeholders are expected to learn more and enjoy it compared to the traditional approach to teaching. It was also proven that public secondary schools in Babylon are quite ready to utilize this approach from the perspective of both teachers and staff. This is evident despite the presence of obvious challenges, such as the lack of the infrastructure and the ability of teachers and staff to use technological tools as well as the schools are required a strong, successful, and an inclusive plan which serves as a roadmap to standardize the different eLearning projects in the education sector to transform Iraqi schools to smart schools.

INTRODUCTION A Smart School is defined as an educational establishment that utilizes instructional processes and educational management practices that encourages systemic changes that will allow its learners to solve challenges that are common to the era of ICT (Zahra, 2015; Wan, 2009). These schools have undergone systemic reorganization, especially in the context of teaching, learning practices, and school management. In the frame of the information age, a smart school is expected to constantly evolve based on needs, with changes to its professional staff, educational resources, and administrative capabilities. This evolution needs to occur simultaneously alongside student developments to prepare them for a world characterized by ICT (Markoe et al., 2014). New York Smart Schools Commission Report by Geoffrey (2014 ) confirms that a successful evolution to smart schools will require adequate physical and human infrastructure. First and foremost, schools will require sufficient broadband access and wireless networking, while also ensuring that their staff and teachers are properly trained to deal with this transition in their respective classes. Other researchers, such as(Kalantarnia, et al., 2012; Mohammed et al., 2013) supported the aforementioned report, and opined that school districts are required to engage in a strong, successful planning process to guarantee the pinnacle of academic outcomes via an infusion of technology. This whole process must include stakeholders, generate buy-in, plan for contingencies and sustainability, and, perhaps most importantly, allow for rapid alterations in the event of a failure or unexpected catastrophes. This is due to the fact that even the best plans might run into something unexpected along the way, and the ones that will benefit the most are the schools that are able to face these problems head on. The challenges that are familiar to both students and teachers in their respective utilization of ICT are mostly in the context of administrative execution and infrastructures. School inspectors are more concerned with course content and test scores, as opposed to ICT usage (Jo Shan, 2013 ); the lack of proper administrative support to effectively utilize ICT (Lim 2007); mandates from the administration pertaining to better test results, all of which diverted focus from utilizing ICT to prompt students to participate in higher-order thinking activities (Goktas, Yildirim and Yildirim 2009); the absence of a suitable course content, instructional programs, hardware, software, and materials (Jo Shan, 2013). There are certain barriers that needs to be overcome to ensure seamless integration of technology from a teachers’ point of view, such as lowered expectations from teachers and the absence of a defined goals for utilizing ICT in schools (Jo Shan, 2013 );the absence of teacher participation or pedagogical support, along with the lack of knowledge on the part of the teachers who do cooperate (Ertmer and Otternbreit- Leftwich 2010);the lack of time required to develop skills in current software of the integration of ICT in classes (Almekhlafi and Almeqdadi 2010);unable to manage teaching materials (Jo Shan, 2013); software incompetence and complacency in students’ learning approaches(Goktas, Yildirim and Yildirim 2009);lack of knowledge in the use of ICT for teaching (Honan 2008);no specific knowledge on technology and unable to integrate it with existing pedagogical content knowledge for teaching students (Hutchison and Reinking 2011);too much emphasis on imparting knowledge on technical or operational skills as opposed to course content (Lim 2007);being expected to increase score in national examinations (Jo Shan, 2013 );the absence of motivation to effectively utilize ICT (Tezci 2011a);the absence of an in-
  • 3. Gauge the readiness of transformation to smart schools for Iraqi schools http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 49 editor@iaeme.com service training upon the utilization of ICT (Jo Shan, 2013);the presence of technical problems in relation to the class (Jo Shan, 2013);ineffective classroom management, especially for the larger classes (Tezci 2011a);unmotivated workforce due to the lack of technical and financial support (Jo Shan, 2013 );doubt some of the advantages of utilizing ICT in the class (Jo Shan, 2013 ); and finally the absence of a detailed idea on how the integration of technology will enhance students’ learning (Jo Shan, 2013). The Commission filed a report (2014) (available online at www.smartschoolsny.com), while researchers such as Jo Shan (2013), MDC (2012), Zaleha (2011), and Geoffrey (2014)agreed on seven (7) keysto the successful implementation of the smart school concept: (1) Embrace and expand online learning, which will break down geographic barriers, provide access to the best sources of instruction in the world, and level the playing field for students in rural and smaller school districts. (2) Utilize transformative technologies, such as tablets, laptops, and interactive whiteboards to deliver differentiated instruction tailored to students’ specific abilities and needs that lets them learn and advance at their own pace. (3) Connect every school to high-speed broadband using technology that is capable of scaling up over time and deliver sufficient wireless capability to serve every student. (4) Extend connectivity beyond the four walls of the classroom so students from all backgrounds have equal access to the information superhighway. (5) Provide high- quality, continuous professional development to teachers, principals, and staff to ensure successful integration of technology into the teaching and learning experience. (6) Focus on demandsin the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) skills through addressing education policy and curriculum choices in schools to improve competitiveness in technology development to ensure that students graduate with 21st century skills. (7) Plan, plan, and plan again. 2. OVERVIEW OF ELEARNING PROJECTS IN IRAQ UNESCO’s annual accounts (2011), titled “The Hidden Crisis: Armed Conflict and Learning,” confirms that nations in the Middle East, which include Iraq, will not be able to achieve their Millennium Development Goals (MDG) in the near future, due to its current status and conditions. UNESCO pointed out factors, such as former UN allowances, poor safety, and a fragile financial environment as preventing Iraq’s desire towards realizing learning and literacy goals. Certain General Directorate of Education (GDEs) in Iraq successfully implemented small projects, such as the electronic classes and smart board, which are collaborative projects with the government, local officials, and community-based organizations. The ones who took actions are convinced that these projects represent a large scientific step in keeping pace with developed countries while also helping to decrease the burden on the students by eliminating the need for textbooks, which will duly be replaced by an electronic curriculum facilitator. Electronic classes are regarded as newly implemented technology, which are currently being used in schools in and around Baghdad as a springboard towards the full implementation of electronic learning in education. This project is endorsed by the Education Ministry and executed by iCube Development Company, which is in charge of designing a program for students that would eventually substitute schoolbooks. Students are expected to do their work ona computerized active board, which would link them to their teachers and help them complete their homework. The government of Iraq pointed out that the introduction of technology to schools represents their effort in increasing the level of education in Iraq. Other Iraqi schools
  • 4. Thair A. Kadhim http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 50 editor@iaeme.com will eventually adopt this pilot plan, and this first step is intended to close the huge gap between the education levels in Iraq and the world (MoE-Iraq, 2015). There are also other small projects being implemented in Iraqi schools, among them the Electronic library. Tentative analysis showed the amount of books borrowed is increasing, especially on scientific, literary and cultural topics. This necessitates the establishment of a comprehensive digital library, which will help spread knowledge and culture at a faster rate. The smart school project is currently not a part of the Iraqi school system; instead, it is represented by a decentralized effort from individuals or organizations in seeding the idea of a smart school in an Iraqi context (Ibid).Furthermore, the programmers, education staff, and students are all involved in designing computer programs that will help archive student records, which eliminate the need for a manual filing system. However, these programs are still not up to par, and lag behind their peers in other countries, especially in terms of bookkeeping and grade records. 3. METHODOLOGY Data from current published work, books, and reports are gathered and read to comprehend the latest situation pertaining to ICT development in Iraqi school education. This study uses a quantitative approach to collect data from the database of the General Directorate of Education (GDE) in Babylon-Iraq via a questionnaire, while the qualitative method involves conducting interviews with key stakeholders of the ICT transformation process in the Babylon Province (policy makers, head teachers, and senior teachers). The data are then statistically analyzed to determine relationships and associations using Cronbach/SPSS tools. This study used data from three sources; document study, survey, and interviews with teachers and policy/decision makers. This research involves the seven steps shown in (Figure 2) for data analysis. SPSS is regarded as the perfect tool to key in data, creating new variables, performing Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), and performing formal statistical analyses, and thus SPSS was used for data analysis. Data Collection: After identifying potential respondents, the questionnaires were mailed out to them. A covering letter and the permission letter from the GDE in Babylon requested that the respondent complete the questionnaire in the span of 2 weeks. The head of information and communication section of the schools were expected to collect and return the questionnaire forms. The data were collected from the respondents themselves, and the relevancy of the data was reliable, as the researcher collected it.
  • 5. Gauge the readiness of transformation to smart schools for Iraqi schools http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 51 editor@iaeme.com Document Study: The document study conducted in Babylon province resulted in the following; 114 computer laboratories are present in 175 secondary schools (53 schools have their own independent laboratory and 61 schools share their laboratories with other schools). This indicated that from all secondary schools (319), there are 205 (64%) that lack their own computing laboratories. Furthermore, 144 secondary schools (45%) lack computing facilities. In contrast, there are 175 secondary schools (55%) possessing independent computing facilities. Survey: This formula is reliable to 95% and less than 5% deviation factor. The Formula is:n=N/ [1+Ne2 ], where: e=deviation of sampling, N=size of population, n=size of sampling, the is Formulation: n=11174/[1+(11174 x (0.05)2 ]= 11174/[1.84]= 386.1759=386 Therefore, the sampling size is 386 samples. The target population group of the questionnaire is the secondary schools' teaching staff in Babylon province. A questionnaire of 27 questions (Dhiaa, 2014) was distributed to 386 teachers, with 347 being returned. 13 responses were excluded due not being complete; hence, the total number of actual completed forms is334. Data Analysis: The data was analyzed using the SPSS program “Statistical Package for the Social Science” to obtain research statistic. Descriptive test was used to explain the respondents’ background, the knowledge level of the respondents in using ICT, attitude towards the use of ICT, use of ICT among respondents and challenges or obstacles faced by them in order to gauge the readiness of their schools in implementing the smart schools project. 4. EXISTING ICT INFRASTRUCTURE The Directorate also has a program to provide schools with technical support, either directly from the Ministry, or through private providers.The aim of data analysis from the available document in Secondary Schools GDE of Babylon – 2015 is to gauge the status of ICT infrastructure at the schools in Babylon. The analysis has established the following: In the Babylon governorate, the education sector has 188 computer laboratories; they are distributed to 252 schools (53 schools have their own independent laboratory and 61 schools shared their laboratories with other schools). Hence, this means that there are 181 secondary schools without their own independent laboratories. In addition, secondary schools (49.05%) are without access to computers; in the contrast, 188 secondary schools (35.63%) have independent access to computers. Figure3shows the existing computer laboratories in the Babylon secondary schools.
  • 6. Thair A. Kadhim http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 52 editor@iaeme.com Generally, documents study and database of e-learning section show that access to the Internet, servers, and communication in the secondary schools is rather poor. There are only two schools (0.54%) equipped with a Local Area Network (LAN) and servers; four schools (1.08%) have access to the internet; low levels of software usage is also evident, with only seven schools (2.17%) having the software to manage their activities, as shown in Figure 4. The documents’ results also revealed that the infrastructure of ICT in schools activities is rather low. Furthermore, there are various ICT tools available. These tools include personal computer desktop, laptop, data show, scanner, printer, smart board, and phone lines. Figure 5 shows the number of available IT technology tools used in secondary schools of Babylon Governorate and the number of each per school. Certain ICT tools exert their own respective influence upon Education. These are important tools in fostering successful ICT initiatives. The total number of PC is (3234), distributed among 369 schools, which means that the average number of computers is 8.76 computers per school. This gives an average of 1PC to 54.08 students, basically implying that most students are only minimally in contact with the computers at their respective schools. The computer department maintains a record of all schools in the GDE of Babylon-Iraq, including numbers of students, classes, labs, computers, printers, and other relevant data. Annually, the directorate produces a report on the student-to- computer ratios in all government schools in Babylon. They use the data as a guide to show the number and percentage of schools having a student-to-computer ratio of under 10:1 to more than 40:1. The following is the reported results for secondary schools in the academic year 2014-2015 (Figure 6).
  • 7. Gauge the readiness of transformation to smart schools for Iraqi schools http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 53 editor@iaeme.com In addition, the number of personal computers (PCs) of each laboratory is different, as shown in Figure 7. Secondary schools that do not have PCs are 172 (46.61%); without PCs, they lack access to other technology tools; 107 secondary schools have the maximum number of PCs, which is between 21 and 25, while the minimum number of schools having PCs falls between 16 and 20. In rural schools, students are not getting proper ICT-based education due to the lack of ICT infrastructure. Internet connection is unavailable in remote areas, and the number of IT tools is very low, so the government should ensure that an adequate amount of computers and Internet connectivity, especially in rural schools, are available in order to facilitate the ICT based education for rural school students. Figure 8 shows the IT tools in secondary schools in Babylon.
  • 8. Thair A. Kadhim http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 54 editor@iaeme.com Iraqi schools cannot be classified as having implemented ICT, due to the lack of ICT and network infrastructures and communications, and the antiquated management approach, especially by the government. The results showed that the current allotted educational budget is inadequate, and should be increased. This is because there are no instructional media and educational technologies being offered till now; hence, the educational sector standards, especially in schools, must be changed according to the practice and standards of international schools. The results on gauging the readiness of embracing ICT in schools and the education sector are illustrated in Table 1. Table 1 Gauge schools readiness to accept the ICT Q Statements SA A N DA SDA Mean 1 The classic instructional media are offered to the teachers in the classrooms. 3 7 20 130 174 2.61 2 Up-to-date technology is also offered to the teachers in the classrooms such as computers, projector, and other multimedia instruments. 3 10 13 114 200 2.52 3 It is better to use the English language in the learning process especially in ICT. 67 124 17 80 47 4.25 4 Using of educational technology is first step to supply all the classrooms with up-to-date technology as well as training the teachers. 177 107 13 30 7 5.25 5 It is very important to push the school staff to use educational technologies in the learning process. 107 190 17 13 7 5.13 6 It is better to establish ICT centers in education management. 73 160 43 30 27 4.07 Scale: SD=Strongly Disagree D=Disagree N=Neutral A=Agree SA= Strongly Agree 5. EXISTING TEACHING STAFF There are 11174 teachers in the General Directorate of Education (GDE) in Babylon, while the number of ICT teachers are only 404; 58 of them are currently not working for many reasons (sick, pregnant, and maternity leave), which means that the actual number of ICT teachers presently working is 346. In other words, the mean of actual ICT teacher/ students is (0.002), actual ICT teacher/ classes are (0.078), and actual ICT teacher/ schools are (0.840). The ICT skills of teachers and staff in most of the schools are inadequate in the context of implementing ICT in the schools. This is mainly due to their incompetence in using software and communication tools. Low-level ICT use could provide a good starting point, and this adjustment will come once the capability of the teachers and administrators in the educational sector are further developed. The interpretation of percentage for this part of the finding is based on these classifications, where Excellent (90-100%), Very good (80-89%), Good (60-79%), and Poor (0-59%) (Amer, 2010). These distinctions are used to represent the respondent’s knowledge with regards to a particular statement. The results of the teachers’ readiness to use ICT in education are shown in Table 2.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION There are 54.8 students per computer on average in GDE –Babylon. Low ratios of student-to-laptops in Babylon; its only 538 laptops are available to secondary schools, with no access to tablet and net books. Also, 154 interactive boards are available on average, translating to 0.4 interactive boards per school. Lownumber of data projector; 0.46 per school; 1011 student per data projector. Most secondary schools (98.02%) lack Internet connection; they failed to fulfill the minimum acceptable level for websites, emails for students and teachers, a local area network (LAN), or a virtual learning environment. Generally, lack of own personnel (whether teachers or technical support staff) who play a large part in maintaining the growing amount of ICT equipment in schools and lack of ability for teachers and staff to utilize software and communication tools. Additionally, no overall relationship was found between high levels of ICT provision and student and teacher confidence, use, and attitudes. Furthermore, most eLearning projects in the education sector are sporadic projects, there is a need for the establishment of a comprehensive plan that will help minimize time and associated costs.

CONCLUSION In a modern era of rapid changes pertaining to information and technology, the process of teaching and learning is fast changing. Using ICT in education has been proposed to increase education quality, expansion of learning chances, and increase accessibility of education beyond the classroom. Smart school revamped teaching and school management via capturing technological utilities. The application of the smart school concept leads to increased stakeholders’ participation. Gauging the readiness of schools for the implementation of smart schools is quite useful, and the results can be built upon to develop a comprehensive plan, in collaboration with stakeholders and in accordance with the available material and technical capabilities. Based on the results, most secondary schools in GDE-Babylon lack electronic infrastructure. Teacher skills are quite basic, and most of them require extensive training in ICT. However, it was also established that teachers are more than enthusiastic in using technological tools, and receptive to the idea of shifting towards learning, although some of them do not seem keen on the idea. According to the findings from the survey, this study suggest that supporting and developing teachers could be as important as providing the technology; this is especially true at a level where infrastructure provision is adequate. Furthermore, the number of ICT teachers is inadequate, and more than half of the schools lack them and technical support, making it difficult to implement the smart school project there. In addition, the standardization of electronic projects in the education sector needs to be done via a comprehensive plan in order to minimize time and associated costs. REFERENCES [1] Almekhlafi, A.
