| dc.description.abstract | This study assessed community participation in managing ward secondary schools at Ilala Municipality in Dar es Salaam region. Specifically, the study sought to assess school management functions that the community members participate in, examine trends and patterns of the community participation in ward secondary school management, find out strategies that community members employ in increasing participation in managing ward secondary schools and identify challenges that community members face in executing community participating in ward secondary school management. The study employed qualitative approach In this study case study design was employed to guide the selection of respondents, research instruments and data analysis. A total of 36 respondents were purposefully selected to form the study sample size. The questionnaire, interview guide and documentary review were used as data collection instruments. The study finding revealed that approving the budget, evaluation of school plan and advising heads of schools were the most forms of school management activities community members involved. It was also found that there was low participation of community members in all key secondary school management issues such as participation in school annual plan, school strategic plan, monitoring and evaluation of school programme and decision making, mobilization of school resources and monitoring implementation of disciplinary problems. Furthermore, the study revealed that community members faced a number of challenges in executing school management such as lack of training on school management issues and distance from school as well as the lack of time. It was concluded that, community members had little say in the management of the ward secondary school. The study recommended that, the involvement of the community members to other managerial issues such as planning, organising, budgetary control and enhancing effective communication between the community and their leaders and school management all these will help active participation of community in managing ward secondary schools. | en_US |
