Sudan, the national government has been energized the institutions to implement ICT in every sector. This study
examined the Sudanese teachers’ skills and ICT integration in technical and vocational education and training TVET
in Khartoum state. The study directed out of two hundred respondents were sampled randomly, questionnaires were
distributed, 168 (84%) were properly filled and returned, 130 were males and 38 females from three various bodies
of TVET include (technical secondary schools, artisan institutions, and vocational training centres). A One-Way
ANOVA and Independent sample t-test on SPSS version 20 for data analysis were adopted. The results revealed that

was a significant difference among the respondents’ ICT skill due to their ages and qualifications. Consequently,
more training needs to be conducted for TVET teachers in basic skills of computer use. Following the international
standards, the right decisions we are strongly recommending train/teach pre-service and in-service teachers on ICTs
