The document discusses seven interconnected conditions needed to support teaching and learning with information and communication technology (ICT): 1) an ICT strategic plan, 2) a vision, 3) school culture, 4) a whole school approach, 5) school infrastructure, 6) organizational structure, and 7) teacher education and leaders' professional learning. It emphasizes that integrating ICT requires vision and leadership from school leaders. Specifically, leaders must allocate resources and budgets to ICT, establish sustainable funding models, and understand ICT solutions in order to guide decisions and support innovation. Successful ICT integration also focuses on improving student learning outcomes.

12. Integrating ICT has to be suggested and encourage by school
leaders (especially principle).
