The study found that the factors that are affecting the use of integrated ICT in the primary schools in Bundibugyo include lack of teacher preparedness, lack of learners‟ preparedness, and lack of administrative preparedness. The study recommended that: Teachers should be made prepared to use integrated ICT at primary school level by receiving frequent ICT related trainings.
