Abstract: This study examined the effect of information communication technology (ICT) on the performance of learners in Mathematics at the Secondary school level. The specific objectives were to find out the extent by which information communication Technology (ICT) is used in Secondary Schools of Huye, to access the performance in Mathematics of learners in Secondary Schools of Huye District and to determine the relationship between information communication technology use and performance level in Mathematics of learners in Secondary Schools of Huye District. This study is useful to all stakeholders in the education sector, such as public institutions, decision-makers, district authorities, head teachers, teachers, learners, and scholars. The researcher applied a descriptive correlational study, targeting 400 teachers and 15 head teachers, this study selected respondents and key informants both purposefully and randomly. A study sample of 80 respondents was obtained by using Yamane’s formula. Information was analysed using the statistical package for statistical product and service social sciences version 26.0 to generate descriptive statistics in terms of frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Inferential statistics were produced in terms of correlation and regression coefficients for determining the size of the effect between variables. The extent by which information communication technology (ICT) is used in Secondary Schools of Huye District respondents indicated that 82.5% agreed that the use of Computer in teaching Mathematics is enough. Results shows that the academic performance for learners in Mathematics subject due to use of ICT at school indicate that 45.0% agreed that learners perform in Statistics due to use of ICT ,50% agreed that learners perform well algebra due to use of ICT in teaching. Results on the correlation between Information Communication Technology (ICT) use and learners’ performance in mathematics subjects indicated that most measures were positively associated with each other. Since the degree of significance was less than 0.05, it was proposed that all people involved in the education sector in Huye are recommended to work collaboratively in order to enhance the learner’s performance among all secondary school students in public and private Secondary schools in both general education and TSS schools in mathematics subjects. MINEDUC, through the Rwanda Education Board, is recommended to avail itself of enough needed materials and requirements in other to facilitate the implementation of Computer based learning. Further studies should be done on the Computer based learning and learners performance.
