One of the approaches to education reform that correspond to alternative, somewhat overlapping approaches to improve a country’s workforce and fostering economic growth is technology literacy.

This study used the technology literacy approach of the UNESCO ICT-CFT to determine university lecturers’ use of ICT for instruction. The study revealed that university lecturers perceived their technology literacy approach to instruction to be positive having 75.92%. The study concluded that the use of ICT through the approach will help in connecting education reform initiatives to the nation’s economic and social development goals by explicitly including the 21st century skills that are needed to create new knowledge and engage in life-long learning as required in the education system.
