| Summary: | There is a national consultation on how ICTs influences Ghana’s school administration and curriculum instruction. For this vision to be actualized, the researcher envisaged that a tracer study on the challenges affecting the use of ICTs in pre-tertiary school administration would provide first-hand information to policymakers. The study adopted a descriptive survey design and employed the census survey to include 60 public Senior High School administrators in the Birim Central Municipality. The data collection instrument was a close-ended questionnaire with an obtained Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (α) of 0.84. The study revealed that pre-tertiary school administrators were satisfied with the accessibility to computers and other hardware equipment but were dissatisfied with the accessibility of software, photocopier, and internet accessibility for administrative works. Furthermore, the institutional barriers (inadequate facilities to support full integration of ICTs and non-inclusion of ICT programs in administrators’ training on curriculum delivery) were the obstacles affecting the use of technological resources in the administration and management of schools. Ghana Education Service accepts criticisms of identified challenges on ICT integration from school administrators to inform proper planning and prompt responses for the successful implementation of ICs in schools.
