Abstract: The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education has emerged as a powerful strategy for bridging educational disparities, particularly in remote and underserved schools. This paper examines the transformative role of ICT in classroom teaching in remote areas, focusing on its potential to enhance access to quality education, improve teaching effectiveness, and promote learner engagement. Through the use of digital tools such as computers, mobile devices, internet resources, and educational software, ICT enables innovative pedagogical approaches that overcome geographical isolation and resource constraints. The study highlights how ICT supports teacher professional development, facilitates learner-centered instruction, and fosters collaborative and inclusive learning environments. Despite its benefits, the paper also discusses key challenges to ICT integration in remote schools, including inadequate infrastructure, limited digital literacy, and policy constraints. The findings suggest that with adequate investment, training, and supportive policies, ICT can significantly contribute to reducing educational inequities and improving learning outcomes in remote school settings.
