    The administrative structure of the Ministry of National Education in Tanzania; the problems of implementing school inspection recommendations at the level of secondary education
    (University of Dar es salaam, 1982) Swai, Fulgence Saronga Shine
    The study is on the problems of implementing school inspection recommendations at the level of secondary education. The recommendation packages come from the inspectorate of education after digestion and refining for implementation by the department of secondary education at the Ministry Headquarters. Interest in this subject has been prompted by the observation that the recommendations are delayed or are not implemented at all. More details are as found in chapters one and two. The researcher's main techniques have been documentary analysis, interviews, and the check listing of a questionnaire by use of the Likert scale the author has used annual education reports, Zonal inspectorate reports, documentation through files at .the Ministry Headquarters and at the Northern Zone of Inspectorate of Education. Further elaboration is as indicated in chapter three. The study has found out that the problems of implementation are related to the existing sectional arrangement of the department as well as to the organizational structure of the Ministry National Education as a whole. The problems emerge from the way recommendations are implemented, the nature of the recommendations arid their degree of implementation from the point; they are minute by the Director of Secondary Education to the sections. The organizational structure of the Ministry affects the coordination between departments for some of the recommendation packages which have to strive from different departments for implementation and this problem may continue to exist unless modifications are introduced, which will imply further changes, minor or major, in the organizational chart of the Ministry. In addition, unprogrammed decisions concerning the recommendations do affect the plans of the Ministry as well as lessen time for implementing other recommendations. On the whole, the problems of implementing the recommendations, besides factors mentioned above, are deep rooted in the unavailability of physical, fiscal and human resources. A point of encouragement found in the study, however, is the democratic participation that prevails in the department of secondary education perhaps to be learnt by other departments of the Ministry of National Education. Further analysis is made in chapter four, while recommendations and suggestions for further study are found in chapter five
