The present study assesses the teacher’s attitude towards information technology in selected government and private schools at the secondary level in the Jammu district. The data was collected randomly from 100 secondary school teachers from 5 private and 5 government Schools of the Jammu district. The Attitude Scale towards Information Technology for Teachers (ASTITT) developed by Nasrin & Islahi (2012) was used to assess the teacher’s attitude towards information technology. Statistical techniques like Mean, SD and t-test were used to analyse the data. The results showed that the teachers in both government and private schools have a positive attitude towards information technology. But the attitude of private school teachers towards information technology was found significantly higher than government school teachers. The findings of the study also revealed that there is no significant difference in the attitude of secondary school teachers towards information technology with respect to their gender.
