It is generally agreed that developed nations have greater access to funding needed for ICT integration than do developing nations. However, it may be surprising to note that there are still many schools in developed countries that have not yet integrated ICT in to education and funding is the biggest challenge .Funding for ICT integration initiatives in developed countries might be limited.
