Abstract: The overall focus of this study is ICT in primary schools in Saudi Arabia, in particular the use made of ICT by novice female primary school teachers. The paper explores the reasons behind the low use of ICT by the teachers. The data were collected from the target group in six big cities in Saudi Arabia. The quantitative and qualitative analysis showed that the teachers suffer from the presence of several barriers such as lack of access to technology, lack of training and lack of time.
