In Jiangxi Province, China, this research looks at how students' engagement in STEM subjects is affected by teachers' proficiency with information and communication technologies. The diversified demographic and socioeconomic context for this research is provided by Jiangxi, which is noted for its educational institutions such as Jiangxi Normal University and Jiangxi University of Science and Technology. Educators and students actively participating in education that integrates technology are chosen for the study using a purposive sampling technique. Particularly in metropolitan locations with greater ICT infrastructure, the results show that student engagement is greatly improved when teachers are proficient in using ICT. The study highlights the importance of equal access to information and communication technology resources and ongoing professional development for educators in order to establish productive classroom settings. These findings have important policy and practice implications for education, since they support smart investments in ICT to boost STEM education and get students ready for a tech-driven future.
