Abstract: This study was an investigation on the challenges facing administrators in the use of ICT in Kuria district secondary schools in Kenya. The major concern was to examine the challenges they face as perceived by both educators. The study used a questionnaire to collect data from 89 teachers from 10 public and two private Schools. The data was collected and coded using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for analysis. Descriptive and inferential statistics analyzed were presented in form of tables which were integrated and findings highlighted. The major challenges facing administrators which might have contributed to limit the use of ICT included computer breakdown, inadequate staff training, limited computer hardware and software, dedicated to administrative tasks. The study therefore recommends that administrators conduct workshops on ICT management, be role models and mentors for ICT implementers, improve ICT infrastructure and equip schools with ICT resources.
