Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that that a majority (>90%) of the lecturers have a positive attitude towards the use of information and communication technologies for instructional purposes.

The study also confirmed that most of the information and communication technologies resources mentioned in the study instrument were not accessible for instructional purposes. It was also confirmed that significant differences exist in the attitude of lecturers towards the use of information and communication technologies for instructional purposes in Colleges of Education based on their qualification. The study also found that there exist a significant difference in the availability, accessibility and the use of information and communication technologies for instructional purposes in Colleges of Education based on source of funding.
