dc.description.abstractThe study sought to examine the effectiveness of school supervision on secondary education and how it has contributed to enhancing academic performance through internal school supervision. The research was conducted in Kinondoni municipality in Dar es Salaam, and it involved one hundred and ninety (190) respondents from ten secondary schools, and it used qualitative and quantitative methods. Schools with students having good performance in their final examination results were those which have a regular system of conducting internal school supervision. It was revealed that school internal supervision had an impact on the final academic pass rate of the students. Schools with students having better academic pass rate in their final national examination over five years were conducting regularly internal school supervision while those with poor pass rate had no regular internal supervision. However it was also revealed that schools were not regularly visited by external inspectors, which in some of the poorly performing schools, internal supervision was always driven by external supervision. Internal supervision faces problems, such as insufficient number of teachers, difference in education level and experience of the heads of schools and the teachers, resistance from teachers, time management and lack of proper school supervision by the heads of school. It was therefore recommended that there was a need to recruit more student teachers who are to be groomed as school supervisors and be allocated to schools to pursue school internal supervision at the school, to organise capacity building courses for the heads of schools, train teachers, give heads of schools the mandate to conduct internal school supervision regardless of their work experience and education level, set the level of education of the heads of schools all over the country, and initiate programmes for INSET in clusters.en_US
