This study assessed the effectiveness of school boards in community secondary
schools in Chamwino District, Dodoma Region. The study aimed at assessing the
extent to which school boards in community secondary schools are effective in
accomplishing their roles and responsibilities; evaluating the level of autonomy
exercised by school boards; assessing community participation in making and
implementing decisions and, assessing the extent to which the board diversity affects
decision making. The study employed a cross sectional design and qualitative
approach supported by some quantitative elements to collect data from 35
respondents, teachers, heads of schools, District Secondary Education Officer and
school board members, who were obtained through simple random and purposive
sampling techniques. Interviews, documentary review and focus group discussion
were used to collect data from the participants from four schools. Key findings in
this study indicate that although school boards operate in community secondary
schools, accomplishment of their roles is affected by lack of awareness of the
members of school boards about their roles due to lack of training, inadequate
funding and low community support in implementing the decisions passed by school
boards. All these limit school boards from effectively carrying out their mandated
roles. Based on these findings, it is concluded that the school boards in the District
are ineffective in implementing their responsibilities as indicated in the Government
directives. Scheduled training of board members, adequate funding and greater
autonomy to school boards on financial management as well as community
sensitization about ownership of secondary schools are recommended |
