Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education is widely promoted to have a positive impact on enhancing student learning. Different models for learning technology are defined, especially in basic schools. In Kurdistan Region and Iraq learning technology for basic school is a new subject called ICT. The problem is we do not know how effective this subject could be to improve the education system. To solve this issue, we arranged a questionnaire form between 120 students and 30 teachers in Slemani city, and then we highlighted two basic schools, one of them studied ICT subject and the other one, didn?t. As a result, the students that studied ICT, used technology better for learning and were more intelligent compared to the students that didnt studied ICT. Moreover teachers confirmed the student answers. As a conclusion, our result showed that studing and learning ICT, is more affective for education system, and helps students to improve their knowledge in other subjects.
