The COVID-19 pandemic brought about a profound shift in education, underscoring the urgent need for the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in learning environments. This study investigates the teachers’ perspectives about the role of educational leaders in introducing and sustaining the use of technologies almost three years after the pandemic lockdown. 130 teachers from primary and secondary levels throughout Morocco, who do not anymore use technology, filled a questionnaire enquiring about their challenges and barriers of introducing and sustaining the use of technologies after the pandemic. Findings report that despite the important institutional initiatives in ICT integration in education and the accelerated digital connectivity during Covid-19, Moroccan education still faces major challenges hindering the development of long-term educational technology learning goals. Findings also report that the assets emanating from the efforts deployed during COVID-19 have not been capitalized. This implies that the education leaders need to play a more major role in sustaining technology integration.
