Abstract	This paper highlights the effects brought about by the implementation of the Information Communication Technology (ICT) subject in the Zambian primary education curriculum. In particular, it shows how various schools have implemented the new subject, its effects on schools, challenges faced with implementing the subject and remedies to counter the challenges. The paper then outlines and discusses findings of a study designed to investigate the effects in implementing the ICT in education subject in primary schools using data obtained from ten schools under Lusaka Province. Conclusions are drawn and suggestions made to address challenges and improve the subject adoption rate. Despite multiple policies around the importance and implementation of ICTs, the paper warns that without proper resources, infrastructure and administrative support, the effective implementation of the ICT in education subject cannot be achieved.
