South African school's is facing a serious problem concerning the use of Information and Communication Technology in classroom in order to teach learners. Most of the learners special those from rural areas do not have computer skills due to the following barriers;
- Most of the schools in rural areas have poor infrastructure and that lead no them to don't have computer labs.
- Lack of skilled educate who can teach their learner about computer.
- It is expensive to install computer labs.
- Crime: Computers are mostly stolen by community members from those school which have them.

In order to reduce this ICT barriers the department of education and private sectors must work hand in hand to make it possible for rural schools to have access to these facilities and also educate teachers more about ICT so they can teach their learners in class. I'm looking forward to convey this ICT informatin to my learner I will be teaching.
Indeed South Africa is facing a serious problem especially those who are living in rural areas. fortunately we(as teachers in making) are being trained to overcome those barriers.
