Abstract
This study was concerned with perspectives on tutors’ preparedness and adoption of ICTs in
public teacher training colleges. The rationale was based on the view that properly designed,
learning materials inspired by integration of ICT and delivered by technology add value to a
teaching environment on which contact hours are limited. The curriculum needs academic
standards and the development of digital age skill for the 21st century learners if vision 2030
and beyond education goals have to be realized. The study findings revealed that
preparedness on integration of ICT was at an infant stage. Adoption on integration of ICT by
tutors into their instructional process was not significantly related to their years of teaching
experience, there was no significant relationship between the tutors’ attitude towards
integrating ICT and tutors faced several challenges in an attempt to integrate ICTs into the
curriculum.
