This research paper examines the level of information communication technology (ICT) proficiency among secondary school teachers. With the increasing integration of technology in education, ICT proficiency has become essential for effective teaching and learning. The study assesses the knowledge, skills, and confidence of secondary school teachers in utilizing ICT tools for instructional purposes. A mixed-methods approach is employed, combining surveys and practical assessments to gather data from a diverse group of teachers. The findings shed light on the current state of ICT proficiency among secondary school teachers, highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and potential areas for improvement. The research aims to inform targeted professional development programs and strategies to enhance ICT integration in secondary education settings.
