Abstract
In today's rapidly evolving world, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become an integral part of our daily lives, transforming the way we work, communicate, and access information. The field of education is no exception, as ICT offers numerous opportunities to enhance teaching and learning experiences. This study explores the need for institutional policies focused on the professional development of teachers through the use of ICT. The integration of ICT in education brings forth significant changes in pedagogical practices, requiring teachers to possess the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively utilize these tools in the classroom. For the present study the researcher has used 20 samples from the entire population and purposive sampling technique is used to collect data from the participants. The result revealed that the need for institutional policies for professional development of teachers through the use of ICT cannot be overstated. These policies play a vital role in equipping educators with the necessary skills, knowledge, and support to effectively integrate ICT into their teaching practices. By investing in professional development, institutions demonstrate their commitment to enhancing the quality of education and preparing students for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
