Tanzanians have been participating in the delivery of education yet the sound
contributions remained minimal in providing school facilities. Therefore, community
participation in education is characterized as a vital strategy for improving educational
delivery in secondary schools. Due to the importance of community participation in
education, analysing the community participation in ongoing construction of
classrooms in secondary schools in the studied area was undeniable. Specifically, the
study analysed the following; (i) to analyse the role of community participation in
ongoing construction of classrooms in secondary schools (ii) to assess the effectiveness
of community participation in ongoing construction of classrooms in secondary schools
(iii) to explore the extent to which government support the community participation in
ongoing construction of classrooms in secondary schools (iv) to identify the challenges
of community participation in ongoing construction of classrooms in secondary schools
(v) to explain the useful measure to be taken to improve community participation in
ongoing construction of classrooms in secondary schools.
The study employed 90 respondents to collect data by use of interview, questionnaires,
focus group discussions, field observations and documentary reviews. Quantitative data
were analysed through Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) computer software
while qualitative data were summarized and analysed manually. The study findings
indicated that the communities were ineffective in the participation in ongoing
construction of classrooms in secondary schools. Ineffective participation implies that
there is minimal community participation in ongoing construction of classrooms for
secondary schools. Also, the finding revealed challenges namely political interference,
negative attitude, low government supports and low level of income which were
reducing community participation in ongoing construction of classrooms. It was
therefore recommended that strong efforts should be taken by the government and other
stakeholders to educate the communities and politicians the mandatory of the
communities to participate in improving school infrastructures. |
