The document discusses the challenging implementation of information and communication technology (ICT) in smart schools in Malaysia. It identifies six main challenges: (1) lack of technological infrastructure and teaching materials such as limited internet connection and shortage of computers; (2) underutilization of existing smart school hardware, software, and courseware; (3) lack of democratization in education where students have no choice in their education; (4) lack of training for teachers in ICT; (5) negative attitudes of experienced teachers towards ICT; and (6) time constraints where using computers is time consuming for both students and teachers.
