Abstract: Information technology, or IT enablement in education, is becoming an essential part of the digital world, forcing us to adapt to the IT-enabled new normal. Despite this, as an educational assessment, this exam evaluates the strong application of technology in different school settings to determine its suitability. This study investigates Kosovo vocational schools from three areas - health, engineering, and business - on the use of IT tools in the teaching and learning going on. This study is based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and data from 638 contributors, explores the types of ICT being used, barriers to the use of ICT, and opportunity for growth. The results show that while key stakeholders in education and the labour market see value in ICT - the actual educational delivery is constrained by poor infrastructure, lack of training, and insufficient funding for tools and resources.
Keywords: vocational schools; information technology; IT; educational profiles; software applications.
