Students are very much engage with technological tools while teachers tend to ignore the technologies, whereas there is need for teachers engage with digital curriculum and teach and supervise students’ academic works using these technological tools. The purpose of this study was to determine the E- Learning readiness of some selected secondary schools in Mezam division. This study adopted a descriptive survey design. Two research questions and one null hypothesis formulated at 0.05 level of significance guided the study. The population of the study was made-up of some secondary school students and mathematics teachers of Mezam division. The accessible population of the study was made up of 250 students and 12 mathematics teachers. Data was collected using structured questionnaire. The reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach alpha and the index obtained was 0.79. Data collected was analyzed using percentages. The findings reveled that mathematics teachers do not possess ICT skills required for e-learning and teaching of mathematics. The results also revealed that students possess ICT skills required for e-learning but do not exploit these skills to improve on the learning of mathematics. It was concluded that mathematics teachers do not possess ICT skills required for e-learning of mathematics and so must build up their capacities. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that teachers should engage in digital curriculum and upgrade their teaching from chalk and blackboard to e-learning with the aid of ICT. It is also recommended that government should improve on the ICT tools in multimedia available centers in some schools.
