Primary education is the foundation and the beginning of formal education on which a nations vital human resources are built. Technology use in this stage of the education process is suited to address the demands of primary schooling in some unique and powerful way and also is important for a countrys participation in the global knowledge economy. ICT integration is a response to an emerging shift of global economy from industry-based to knowledge based. Many government efforts and private initiatives tried to address ICT integration in the school level by carving out policies and strategies, providing computers and Internet access. Despite the strong emphasis given to ICT integration in education, little has been done to evaluate how ready these educational institutions are to integrate ICT in education and also it leaves one wondering whether the institutions take into consideration the social technical factors that influence ICT integration in education. The study demonstrates that ICT integration readiness should be guided by Social Technical Integration Framework on ICT Readiness for Primary Schools.
