INTEGRATION AND INSIGHT ON INFORMATION, COMMUNICATION AND TECHNOLOGY FOR SUSTAINABLE EDUCATION

This review based article has articulated ideas on integration and insight on ICT for sustainable
education. In the field of education, a noteworthy paradigm shift is taking place through the usage
of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), which serves as a transformative tool to
shift into the neo-technology of teaching and learning. ICT in education refers to the integration
of Information and Communication Technologies, including hardware, software, and networks,
to advance teaching and learning by providing digital tools, facilitating online communication,
supporting e-learning, and personalizing educational experiences for learners. It broadens the
horizon of Information Technology (IT) to encompass all communication forms, using digital
resources to make learning more engaging, accessible, and efficient for both learners and
educators. Most of the nations have effectively incorporated ICT in their educational systems,
understanding its potential to develop student engagement, enhance critical thinking skills, and
prepare learners for technological advantage. ICT provides insights into the current condition
of teachers' efficiency and technology use in teaching and recognizes pathways for further
improvement in techno-based teaching and for promoting students' advancement. ICT integration
in educational sectors seems much required. However, it depends on teachers' efficiency and the
availability of required equipment. Teachers' proficiency in using ICT tools immensely impacts
the learners' learning experiences and educational outcomes. The findings from the study will be
beneficial not only to the policy framers but also to the teachers and researchers. Educationalstrategies influence integration of ICT to promote active students' engagement, shifting their roles
from passive listeners or observers to active participants in the learning process.
