2. INTRODUCTION The National Policy on School Education 1986, modified in 1992, stressed the need to employ educational technology to improve the quality of education. The policy statement led to two major centrally sponsored schemes, namely, Educational Technology (ET) and Computer Literacy and Studies in Schools. Educational Technology also found a significant place in another scheme on upgradation of science education. The significant role ICT can play in school education has also been highlighted in the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005.

3. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES (ICT) Information and Communication Technologies are defined as all devices, tools, content, resources, forums and services, digital and those that can be converted into or delivered through digital forms, which can be deployed for realising the goals of teaching learning, enhancing access to and reach of resources, building of capacities, as well as management of the educational system. These will also include process for digitization, deployment and management of content, development of platforms and process for capacity development and creation of forums for interaction and exchange.

4. NEED OF NATIONAL POLICY ON ICT IN SCHOOL EDUCATION Holistic Development of Education system through ICT. Utilise the potential of ICT outreach improving quality of education. Improve the efficiency of teaching learning process. To provide guidelines to assist the States in optimizing the use of ICT in school education.

5. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF NATIONAL POLICY ON ICT IN SCHOOL EDUCATION The primary objective of the National Policy for ICT in School Education 2012 was to leverage information and communication technology to enhance the quality of education, improve access to educational resources, and promote digital literacy among students. The policy aimed to achieve these objectives by integrating ICT tools and methods into the teaching learning process in schools across India.

6. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN SCHOOLS Information and Communication Technologies have enabled the convergence of a wide array of technology based and technology mediated resources for teaching learning. The potential of ICT to respond to the various challenges the Indian education system poses are- ICT can be beneficially leveraged to disseminate information about and catalyze adaptation, adoption, translation and distribution of sparse educational resources distributed across various media and forms. There is an urgent need to digitize and make available educational audio and video resources, which exist in different languages, media standards and formats.

7. Given the scarcity of print resources as well as web content in Indian languages, print resources like books, documents, handouts, charts and posters. ICT can address teacher capacity building, ongoing teacher support and strengthen the school system’s ability to manage and improve efficiencies. Using computers and the Internet as mere information delivery devices grossly underutilizes its power and capabilities.

8. LIMITATIONS Only at the awareness development level are objectives being achieved, but higher order thinking skills regarding the use of ICT trend not to be occurring. Technology, pedagogy and content area integration is a rare feature. Time duration of the course related to ICT education is too short to develop knowledge and necessary skills among students to achieve higher order thinking skills.

9. CONCLUSION Implementing ICT in school education has many benefits and difficulties. Each school has its own barriers depending on its contextual factors. To successfully implements ICT in schools need to consider many aspects it will waste a lot of time, energy and money is before implementing it, we do not consider those aspects. ICT should be introduced in the education system, as the acceptance rate of ICT by the students and teachers in high. ICT is one of the source of rural development as it helps in reaching the education to rural areas and hence develop it. Introduction of New Policies and technology in world has raised the level of education in India.
