Abstract

The aim of the article is to describe the repercussions of ICT on the education of finalist students in sectors other than computer science at ISP/Lubumbashi and the risks they entail.

The literature has demonstrated that educated young people show great enthusiasm for using the Internet and cell phones in their daily lives. They browse the World Wide Web, attracted by hobbies, videos and films focused on violence and sexuality, but also visit dating sites to build friendly ties with other people across the planet.

Unfortunately, these Internet users are sometimes unaware of the dangers or misdeeds that abound in the ICTs to which they are exposed, certainly blinded by the passion that drives them when they browse the World Wide Web or handle their mobile phones.

Regarding the possession of a computer by finalist students, it appears that an overwhelming majority (69.7%) of learners declare that they do not have a laptop or desktop computer while it Almost everyone (99.1% of respondents) owns mobile phones.

For almost all of the teaching staff (92%) working in the auditoriums, students use Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) purely for fun. A significant portion of teachers (58.82%) admit to having often been annoyed when giving their lectures or tutorials by their students, through ringing phones or viewing images and videos.
