Answer: It is helpful.
Step-by-step explanation:
Access to more information.
ICT tools such as computers and laptops are able to connect to the internet which has a lot more information on most subjects than a student can find in school.
ICT tools will therefore broaden the information base for African students to enable them acquire more knowledge that could aid the continent in catching up to the west.
Skills acquisition.
The world is increasing moving online and this means that those capable of designing online tools and services will be very successful. This is why Jeff Bezos is so rich.
ICT tools in Africa will enable the students learn about these things from a younger age so that they would be able to launch their own online services for the benefit of the continent and the world.
Making schooling more accessible.
For a long time, there has been a shortage of teachers and schools in certain parts of Africa which has led to a lot of children going without education.
Like the Coronavirus pandemic showed us, with ICT tools, a teacher would be able to reach students that are far from them thereby increasing the number of children who can be educated in Africa even with a shortage of teachers and schools.
