Utilization of Information Communication Technology among Public and Private Secondary Schools of Karachi: A Comparative Study
This study aimed to compare secondary school teachers from the public and private sectors in terms of their perception and understanding of Information Communication Technology (ICT). It also examined how these teachers are facilitated and trained by their respective schools. The sample size for this study was 50 teacher respondents, with 5 public and 5 private schools being selected in Malir Town. From each school, 5 respondents were chosen through simple random sampling. To analyze the data, the Statistical Packages of Social Sciences (SPSS) 20.0 was used for descriptive and inferential statistics. The data was evaluated and hypotheses were tested using an independent sample t-test. The findings indicate that secondary teachers from both public and private schools have a similar perception of ICT. However, public secondary teachers displayed a higher level of knowledge in ICT and were better supported by their respective schools compared to private schools in Malir Town.
