| Abstract | Information and communication technology (ICT) is regarded as the key building block for accelerating development in the contemporary world. The rate of female integration in the ICT area continues to be low, despite the tremendous growth of science and technology. Using Mbeya University of Science and Technology as a case study, this study examined how female students perceive ICT courses in Tanzanian higher education institutions. A sample size of 203 female respondents, chosen at random, were included in the study. Purposive sampling, meanwhile, was utilized to select participants to gather qualitative data for this study. The results of the descriptive analysis of the collected data are presented using figures, tables, and percentages. According to the study findings, women enroll in higher education institutions in ICT fields at a relatively low rate. The low enrollment rate is exacerbated by a variety of challenges, including the lack of a stronger ICT curriculum from primary to secondary school and a lack of career guidance from parents/guardians. Accordingly, the study findings suggest that the government strengthen the ICT curriculum from primary schools to secondary schools. This will lay the foundation for encouraging female participation in the ICT field. (As Provided). |
