The significance of the use of ICTs in education sector is notable and implemented in many countries. The SchoolNet project in Ethiopia and its study is still in infancy. Few available researches sheds light on some of the issues that urgently seek for further research and theory building to guide the practical implementation and establishment of the SchoolNet project. However, if policy recommendation related to ICTs use in education to be credible, it needs to be backed by a rich evidence of researches, lessons learned etc. In this regard such tools are limited or unavailable. Despite the country's huge investment of one-tenth of its GDP every year on ICTs, little hard evidence and consensus exist on the cost-effective utilizations of the technologies to meet a wide variety of some of the most graving challenges facing the country.

In the inaugural lesson for the academic year 2004-2005, the author reflects on the role of information and communications technology in education. He raises some fundamental issues and questions whether ICT is suited to transmitting knowledge, particularly to students who are not already highly motivated to learn or well versed in the art of using and interpreting information. For his analysis, he takes as a point of reference the world of business and offers a brief look at the changes brought to the sector by ICT. To date, the main application of ICT in the business sector has focused on aiding access and processing of large quantities of information for employees and management with the principal aim of increasing productivity. In the case of education, however, little or no information is being used to improve student performance, mainly because education managers are largely illiterate in information management tools. Likewise, despite schools having more and more access to ICT, new technologies are still scarcely used as part of the teaching methodology. Once again, it is the lack of training that creates difficulties: many teachers do not have the necessary IT skills and feel uncomfortable, nor do they have the specific training needed to be able to use the new resources in the classroom. In the university sector, ICT has already made an important impact, whether in terms of teaching, research or administration; however, despite some exceptions, there are few real examples with educational models that are based on this technology and there is still an important social preference for traditional educational models.

The very articulation Information and Communication Technology has bunches of thoughts in it. It is not simply utilizing devices. The emphasis is on what is being executed through this medium. We have data innovation and correspondence innovation. Overseeing of vast amounts of data and conveying the same to the concerned individuals is the need of great importance. Subsequently the name ICT. It is an exceptionally complete articulation. It is not constrained to the PCs or the web. It ranges from the utilization of FM radio to the utilization of satellite for correspondence. It incorporates both the frame and embodiment of correspondence.
