Abstract: The introduction of technology in the management of learning has improved many schools in Kenya. The study sought to evaluate the availability of Information and Communication Technology in primary schools in Kikuyu and Kabete Sub-counties, Kiambu County, Kenya. The study used concurrent triangulation research design. The target population was 5549 people that work in Primary school with a sample of 240 respondents selected from 20 schools using stratified and random sampling. The analyzed data revealed that several learning and teaching related processes like those that involve responding mechanisms, attention, perception, application of learning and understanding are favored by the use of ICT. Also, some of the proposed processes like interaction processes and expression and communication skills were poorly valued as they were not held in high regard by the teachers because they have considered ICT as being commonly used in a one-way mode. The government should provide the necessary equipment for ICT to the primary schools in order to enhance the implementation in the primary schools with a focus on evaluating classrooms.
