This study investigates the barriers and limitations teachers face in integrating information and communication technologies (ICT) into education, using a qualitative approach based on semi-structured interviews with teachers from various regions of Colombia. The findings reveal critical challenges such as insufficient technological infrastructure, lack of teacher training, and socioeconomic inequalities limiting technology access. These obstacles not only affect teaching quality but also perpetuate educational inequalities, particularly in vulnerable communities. The study offers recommendations to address these issues, emphasizing the importance of developing inclusive educational policies and providing continuous training for teachers. These measures are essential to ensure ICT is used effectively to enhance educational outcomes and bridge the digital divide in the current context of rapid technological transformation.
