Abstract
Although many studies are conducted for ICT systems for educational organisations, there is a lack of understanding of ICT systems’ usage for school administration. Infrastructure IT support Communication Experience and Training (IiCE) is a proposed framework based on the ICT that subsumes the IoT intending to improve the primary school administration tasks. This study is conducted on Saudi public primary schools. This study aims to investigate the current state of ICT systems used in primary schools’ administration to provide a framework for the ICT systems usage. We carried out an electronic survey and analysed more than 500 responses. We include a detailed analysis reflecting different school members roles, including teachers, school principals, administrative assistants and parents. The findings of this study highlight the limitations in the existing ICT systems for school administration and provide a holistic understanding of influencing factors. Decision-makers for Saudi educational organisations can use the findings with the proposed framework to better understand the current situation of ICT systems and provide better solutions.
