Abstract: The integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education has demonstrated immense potential to improve teaching and learning outcomes globally. However, in low-resource educational settings—where infrastructure, funding, and digital literacy are often limited—ensuring the sustainable use of ICT poses significant challenges. This study explores the strategies, barriers, and longterm implications of implementing sustainable ICT solutions in these under-resourced environments. By examining case studies, policy frameworks, and practical interventions, the research identifies key factors that contribute to the effective and enduring use of ICT, including community involvement, appropriate technology selection, energy efficiency, and capacity building among educators. It also highlights the importance of aligning ICT initiatives with local needs, environmental considerations, and ongoing support mechanisms to prevent early failure or resource waste. The findings underscore that sustainability in ICT is not merely about access to technology but about responsible, inclusive, and adaptable use that promotes equity and resilience in education. This research contributes to the broader discourse on digital inclusion and offers practical insights for policymakers, educators, and development partners committed to advancing education through sustainable digital transformation.
