Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education is information carriers designed specially to fulfil objectives in teaching-learning situation. Teacher’s perception of ICT resources in school environment plays a critical role in determining students’ disposition to ICT use. Previous studies carried out largely focused on the use of ICT resources in teaching and learning, few addressing teachers’ involvement and how they perceived the use of ICTs resources. In view of this, the study investigated teachers’ perception and student’s’ attitude to the use of ICT resources in secondary schools in the three Ebonyi State Educational Zones. Survey research design was adopted. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 186 students and 27 teachers in 14 secondary schools in the three Ebonyi State Educational Zones. Teachers’ Perception Questionnaire (TPQ) (r = 0.65), Student’s Attitude to ICT Use Questionnaire (PAICTUQ) (r = 0.58), Effect of ICT Use Questionnaire (EICTUQ) (r = 0.78), and Constraints to Effective Use of ICT Questionnaire (CEUICTQ) (r = 0.0.72), were used for data collection. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression at 0.05 level of significant. There is a significant relationship between teachers perception to ICT resources and students attitude to ICTs (R2adj = 0.372, F(1,25) = 16.371), and teachers perception to ICT resources (β = 0.629, t = -4.046), significantly predicted students attitude. Majority of the teachers (100%) agree that the period of teaching with ICT facilities is inadequate and it makes transferring of information to learners’ easier. Non-exposure of teachers in the use of ICT resources is a constraint militating against ICT use. Teacher perception to ICTs has a significant influence on student’s’ attitude to ICT use and period of teaching the subject is inadequate. It is recommended that teachers should improve on their awareness to ICT use and adequate attention should be given to the period of teaching the subject in schools.
