    The role of Information and Communication Technologies in implementing educational and infrastructural development projects: Case studies from Alice, Middledrift and Fort Beaufort in South Africa.
    (University of Fort Hare, 2016-06) Ngcume, Thandisizwe Thando
    This study evaluated the role of ICTs in implementing educational and infrastructural development projects in Alice, Middledrift and Fort Beaufort. A survey in form of questionnaires was employed in which 120 questionnaires were randomly distributed across households. Forty questionnaires were distributed in each of the three areas understudy. This was supported by one focus group discussions in each area. The findings of the study showed that ICTs play a crucial role in enhancing development. However, the findings of the study further revealed that ICTs in Alice, Middledrift and Fort Beaufort are not well understood yet for educational and infrastructural development. Only a small proportion of respondents showed understanding and use of ICTs and these include students, teachers and others who are computer literate.
