ABSTRACT The study seeks to determine the availability and utilization of ICT facilities for teaching in selected basic schools within Cape Coast North constituency in the Central Region of Ghana. The objective of the study is to compare the availability of ICT facilities in Cape Coast North constituency and ascertain the teachers’ level of knowledge regarding the utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and how ready and willing teachers are to use ICTs facilities available. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) Model was adopted because it talks about the intension to use new technology, willingness and readiness of basic school teachers to use modern technology as innovation. Questionnaire were employed to collect data. Convenient sampling technique was used to select the sample size. Seventy three out of total population of 90 teachers were selected as sample. Data was processed using SPSS 16.0. Frequency table, cross tabulation and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The result of the study reveals that there was unequal distribution of ICT facilities among schools, and some basic school teachers do not use ICT facilities in teaching at all. However, the teachers agreed that using ICT facilities help to deliver course content easily and interestingly, but lack ICT in-service training. It is therefore recommended that Government and other stakeholders should provide ICT facilities and ensure equitable distribution to all basic schools and organized regular in-service training for Basic school teachers towards the use of ICTs for teaching at the basic level.
