A country recovering from a devastating ten (10) years civil war and an Ebola outbreak in 2014, couple with the current COVID-19 pandemic that has destroyed its entire infrastructure, Sierra Leone still has huge gaps in both ICT policies (National & Educational), which has gotten a negative implication for the effective use of ICT most especially in it educational system.
As such, Information and communication technology (ICT) plays a very significant role in the advancement of any nation; through digital economic productivity which enhances the delivery of public and private services and achieving broad socio-economic goals in sectors like; education, health care, employment and human social capacity development. As a result of this factual reality, countries are advancing their National & Educational ICT policies every day to underpin growth in a variety of socio-economic sectors which helps them stand tall in terms of development and competition. Apparently, given the rapid evolution of ICT in the 21st Century due to a variety of newly emerging technologies, it is no doubt that systematic examination and evaluation of comprehensive policies and strategies are essential. In the education sector, policy-makers are yet to realize that access to ICT can help individuals to compete in a global community. Henceforth, the argument that ICT has a significant effect throughout the educational system is because; It facilitates learning and provides students with new sets of technological skills; It reaches students with poor or no access (especially those in rural and remote villages); It facilitates and improve the training of teachers to be technologically incline; and Minimizes the costs associated with the method of traditional teaching and delivery of notes in making it digitalized.
