The question, “what is the role of ICT in religious
education?” is a rhetoric question because the
relevance of ICT in religious education is evident. We
should not be talking of applying ICT in religious
education but the enhancement of ICT application in
religious education.
The indexing and measuring organisations like ICT
Development Index (IDI) and International
Telecommunication Union (ITU) reports evidently,
increasing use of ICT in modern world. Religious
education-not exception in global use of ICTs, had
enhanced learning process but succeed to replace
traditional ways of imparting religious education, to a
very great extent.
ICTs-the most advantageous tool in education
systems of both (Secular as well as Religious) has its
negative impacts too that can’t be undermined But are
less than benefits. Hence, it is more appropriate to use
ICTs in promotion of Religious Education and take
some necessary efforts that will bear better
consequences particularly in promotion of religious
education.
