opportunities for improving ICT education is
therefore seen as being extremely important in this
era. This research aims to critically analyzing the ICT
literacy level in grade 10 students in Nuwaraeliya
district, to determine the factors that affect ICT
literacy and to propose possible advancement to
overcome the difficulties in ICT-based education in
Sri Lanka. This is a quantitative study in which data
were collected using questionnaires. The collected
data were analyzed using statistical methods.
Based on the analysis it was discovered that the
students do not have adequate ICT literacy. The

school commencing as early as possible with more
time being allocated, trained and competent
teachers should be recruited to teach ICT subjects
and infrastructure facilities should be enhanced.
