The Integration of ICT in Education: Youth Perceptions of Digital Teaching Quality in Angola

This article examines the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) within the Angolan educational process, focusing on young people's perceptions of the quality of digital teaching. The study was conducted in two institutions with distinct realities: Colégio Bom Pastor (a public school popularly known as Escola do Comité) and Complexo Escolar Huambo Calunga 2 (a private school). Using a descriptive mixed-methods approach, semi-structured questionnaires were administered to students aged 15 to 20, complemented by interviews with teachers. The results indicate that, although young people acknowledge the potential of ICT to enrich pedagogical practices, they identify significant gaps in access to technological resources, teacher training and connectivity, particularly in the public school context. In contrast, students from the private school express greater satisfaction with the quality of digital education, due to more robust infrastructure and innovative methodologies. It is concluded that the success of ICT integration in Angolan education depends on strategic investments, inclusive public policies and training programmes that can reduce technological inequalities between schools.
