| Abstract | The purpose for the integration of ICT in education in Ghana is to enhance teaching and learning, and educational services delivery. In line with this, the government of Ghana envisaged integration of ICTs necessary for the education sector into its administrative and service delivery activities and work towards an electronically SMART ministry that is Simple, Moral, Accountable, Responsive and Transparent. This study investigated the effect of public sector led ICT initiatives on human resource capacity building using South Dayi District of Ghana Education Service as a case study. The world globalization makes it imperative for the integration of ICTs for policy formation and implementation agencies like District Directorate of Education for effective monitoring and supervision towards better growth and development. The investigation is based on the administration of questionnaire among fifty-eight (58) members of staff of the South Dayi District of the Ghana Education Service over a two month period based on purposive sampling. The results of the study revealed that public sector led ICT initiatives were not purposive to the direct needs of the human resource capacity building of the staff. They were not really directed to the district directorates; instead, they were school based initiatives. Alternatively, the integration process had brought to the fore the awareness of the importance of the ICTs which led to personal upgrading of some members of staff of the Directorate. One major set-back of the integration process was lack of basic training of members of staff. The study therefore strongly recommends that increasing access of ICTs is utterly paramount coupled with basic training in ICTs as a pre-requisite for staff recruitment. |
