For many years, education has been treated as one of the main keys for human welfare economic development and improvements. This research aims to explore the extent to which teachers are using information and communication technology (ICT) as well as their attitude towards it. ICT seems to have the capability of changing the present problem of Bangladesh education sectors.

This research is to identify the current ICT status on secondary education of Bangladesh especially secondary schools in Cumilla district. Data were collected from teachers and students by using semi-structured questionnaires and interviews. The result shows that the teacher's competencies in the use of ICT are very low in rural areas and this is attributed to the lack of basic ICT tools, adequate computer literate, and proper ICT training.
