Utilizing a convergent mixed-methods methodology, the study integrated quantitative data from 40 teacher surveys with qualitative insights from four semi-structured interviews conducted in public and private schools in Kabul and Badakhshan provinces. The results reveal significant disparities in how public and private schools use and access ICT. Private school instructors said they used tools like WhatsApp and Google Forms more often because their schools had better infrastructure. On the other hand, many public-school teachers didn't have access to even the most basic digital tools because of problems, including unstable energy, slow internet connections, and a lack of institutional support. Even with these problems, most instructors, no matter what kind of school they worked at, said they were hopeful that ICT might make assessments more accurate, efficient, and interesting for students. The report underscores the pressing necessity for focused interventions, encompassing professional development, infrastructural investment, and localized digital content. It gives policymakers, educational leaders, and NGOs evidence-based suggestions on how to make ICT-supported assessment procedures more accessible to all students in Afghan primary schools.</p> Zainab Nasiri Copyright (c) 2025 Zainab Nasiri https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-05-14 2026-05-14 6 2 1 12 10.33422/ijce.v6i2.1224 https://www.diamondopen.com/journals/index.php/ijce/article/view/1230 <p>In ancient Naga society, Morung was the formal institution for the Tribal people of Nagaland, India. In recent years, Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) has incorporated this concept by establishing Morung centres in Nagaland. Different civil societies come together to guide the Morung students both academically and to impart indigenous traditional values. This paper incorporates the objectives of SSA to guarantee inclusive and holistic education, in accordance with the National Education Policy 2020 and SDG 4. It also attempts to highlight the initiatives taken to integrate modern solutions with tradition, resulting in improved students' academic performance, increased retention rates, and reduced drop-outs.</p> Aier Sunepinla Limala Zetsuvi Buno Copyright (c) 2025 Aier Sunepinla, Limala, Zetsuvi Buno https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-05-14 2026-05-14 6 2 13 27 10.33422/ijce.v6i2.1230
