ABSTRACT
Cultural diversity has a variety of different ideas, customs, and social behaviour. This chapter discusses the use of ICT in primary education in Kenya and suggests ways in which cultural responsiveness can be incorporated. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) describes digital media, communication gadgets, radio, television, mobile phones, computers and their networks, hardware and software, and satellite systems. In the post-colonial period, Kenya adopted the use of the English language as the official language, which consequently led to its dominance. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), government institutions, and other organizations have developed numerous initiatives to promote ICT in education in Kenya. Several evaluations and assessments of these ICT programmes have been made. Endeavours by the Kenyan government geared towards improving ICT access or the use of ICT in education have faced and continue to face numerous challenges such as poor infrastructure, lack of resources, lack of adequate teacher training in ICT among others.
