Data was collected during the novel context and mandates dictated by the widespread COVID19. The main indicators of teachers’ perspectives were adopted from Roger’s Diffusion of Innovation Theory, while their digital competencies were aligned with the levels of the UNESCO ICT Competency Framework. The study found that the majority of participants hold positive perspectives on the relative advantage of ICT-integration, average perspectives on its complexity, and negative perspectives on its compatibility with Egypt's education needs and main priorities. It further highlights the presence of multiple challenges that may affect teachers’ decision to adopt/reject the ICT-reform, including the human and technological infrastructures as well as communication. The insights gained from this study may assist in understanding teachers' level of persuasion, sources of social resistance, and needed capacity building. <br>
