The survey approach was used for the study. Using a simple random <br />sampling technique, 182 (112 students and 70 teachers) from the two schools were selected to participate in <br />the study. A comparative study was conducted on the schools’ ICT facilities, how they were being used, the <br />challenges that are encountered and the perception of teachers and students on integration of ICT into <br />teaching and learning in both schools. The findings revealed that both teachers and students have a positive <br />perception about the integration of ICT into teaching and learning. Unstable power supply, system <br />breakdown, unstable internet access and unavailability of ICT integration support staff were identified as <br />the main challenges encountered in using ICT. The study recommended the following: ICT facilities should <br />be provided in all classrooms; the teacher and student laptop project should be expanded to cover every <br />teacher and student, especially in public second cycle institutions and the expansion of internet access points <br />in the various schools.</p> <p><strong>Keywords: TPACK Model, ICT, Teaching with ICT, Learning with ICT, Second cycle Institution</strong></p>}, number={1}, journal={UDS International Journal of Development}, author={Asamoah, R. and Asiedu, N.
