    (University of Dar es salaam, 2012) Makoye, Mabisi L.
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that affect planning and implementation of education programme in Tanzania: a case study of Secondary Education Development Programme in Magu District, Mwanza Region. The study employed purposive and random sampling techniques. Data were collected through documentary review, interview schedules and observation. Findings revealed that during the planning of Secondary Education Development Programme the target population needs were not adequately analyzed, thus were not fully involved in the planning process. However, the school needs were analyzed and accommodated in the planning process. Moreover, it was found that there were inadequate resources for running and sustaining the programme. Further, findings revealed that the pattern of SEDP administration was proper for its implementation. The administrative structure of SEDP involved some levels dealing with secondary education administration and programme implementation such as Regional Education Office, Secondary School District Education Office and the Prime Minister’s Office-Local Government Division. The actual roles and powers of the progamme implementers were clearly defined. It was also learnt that SEDP had achieved its goals. The SEDP identified weaknesses included dependency in planning and programme implementation, lack of funds, insufficient manpower such as teachers, and poor community involvement in programme planning. It was concluded that, there were ineffectiveness in the planning and implementation of educational programmes in Tanzania as planning of SEDP did not adequately involve grassroots people and also there were not enough resources for the programme implementation in terms of financial and human resources. It was recommended that, the government of Tanzania should use local resources such as revenue collected from economic sectors instead of depending on the donor finding. Also, grassroots people should be involved are necessary. This has to start from the programme inception stage so as to encourage them to participate fully during the implementation stage.
