The study examined the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in knowledge gap by
comparing public and private schools in Lahore. It focused on the availability, application along with the
usage of ICTs in public and private schools to monitor the improvement of communication skills and the
level of knowledge (latest information) of students by integrating ICTs. The study applied causal
comparative method and questionnaire as a tool for data collection. The Universe of the study was Lahore
and student of 9th and 10th classes were the population. Stratified sampling technique was used to identify
schools and respondents of the study. The theoretical framework based on ‘Knowledge Gap Hypothesis’
and t-test was applied for hypotheses testing. The findings confirmed that private school students have
more means of getting access to ICTs thus have more exposure to these devices and better communication
skills as compared to public school students. Students of both the sectors showed interest in the
implementation of ICTs in classroom teaching to obtain the latest information about various issues. The
study also suggested some recommendations for the field and future researchers.
