The study sought to assess the effectiveness of record management system in educational
institutions in Tanzania – the case of Bundasecondary schools in Mara region. Teachers,
SLO, DEO, and DSAO were the participants in the study. The study employed mixed
research approach, specifically descriptive survey design. The study guided by Archival
theory. Data were collected through Likert scale and face to face interview. Findings
revealed that teachers are aware of what effectiveness of records managements is.
Furthermore, it was revealed that many schools lack some facilities for effectiveness of
record management. Facilities missing are like computer, image scanner, paper shredder
as well as cupboard to enhance records management. Lack of recording facilities leads to
negative impacts. Such as loss of records, poor decision making, poor preparation of
school budget, poor student’s management, conflicts between parents and teachers
especially teachers misallocate students’ reports. Suggestions of some possible ways
which can be used to improve effectiveness of records management are proposed. It is
concluded that the DEO needs to make sure that facilities such as computers, files,
cupboards and shelves facilities are made available for effective management of records
in secondary schools. |
