The general purpose of the study is to examine the attitude and competence level of basic school teachers in teaching ICT in Cape Coast Metropolis. In all 50 schools and 150 teachers were selected for the study. SPSS version 20.0 was the software used for the data analysis. The sampling technique that was used is stratified random sample. Frequency tables, t-test, pie charts, bar chats, mean and standard deviation were also used in presenting the data.

The use of ICT has impacted to some extent on almost every facet of our daily activities. Students of today grow up with an array of technology, both at home and at school. Educators and governments have also devoted huge resources to the provision of technology in the learning environment. Despite the increase in ICT tools in Ghanaian basic schools, some teachers do not use them in their teaching.
