Various ICT based projects have been implanted in schools with the purpose of improving educational accessibility, quality and the management system. The aim of this study is to determine the extent to which ICT tools particularly internet is utilized to improve provision of education in secondary schools. Various types of data collection tools such as interviews, questionnaires and documentary review were used to collect qualitative information in four secondary schools. It was observed that internet use in secondary schools is basically for searching materials for both teachers and students. Accessibility of materials from the internet has helped some teachers to advance their carriers especially through the Open University of Tanzania. However, there is little application of the internet facility in these schools to develop classroom pedagogy. Therefore, further exploration of the challenges facing internet use in secondary schools is a mile stone towards improving internet utilization in schools.
