The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of ICT and distance methodology to Primary schools in rural areas on students with learning disabilities. The methodology followed in the work is triangulation with quantitative and qualitative research for the possible reliability of the research. A questionnaire was given to 200 randomly selected teachers serving in primary education in rural areas of the country and ten interviews were conducted with teachers teaching in primary schools.
