Abstract: Rural schools in Zambia faced significant challenges in delivering effective Computer Science education due to limited access to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools. This study examined the challenges and opportunities associated with the use of ICT tools in teaching Computer Science in rural secondary schools, with a specific focus on Mansa District in Luapula Province. The purpose of the study was to investigate the key barriers that hindered the adoption of ICT in Computer Science classrooms and to identify viable opportunities for enhancing ICT integration in rural education. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving interviews with teachers, school administrators, and educational stakeholders across selected rural schools.
