The study explores the capacity of community participation in enhancing students’
academic performance in ward secondary schools in Tanga district. The study was
guided by three objectives including the perceptions of the community on poor
students’ academic performance, the contributions of the community in enhancing
students’ academic performance and the best ways community can participate in
enhancing students’ academic performance. The study used Epsteins’ theory of
overlapping sphere of influence (TOSI) which emphasized partnerships between
community and schools had impacts in students academic performance.
The study collected data using interviews, questionnaires and documentary reviews
guide to collect information suitable for the study from 46 respondents including 30
students, 5 academic masters/mistresses, 5 Heads of schools, 5 NGOs District
Secretaries and 1 District Secondary Education Officer.
The findings of the study indicated that poor performance in ward secondary schools
is associated with lack of students’ readiness to learn, teachers motivation, enough
community school partnership, longer distances from home to schools and
inadequate educational infrastructures.
The study concludes that for the goal of secondary education to be achieved the
Government should propose immediate solutions to the alarming challenges of poor
performance in ward secondary schools.
The Government through MOEVT should ensure that education stakeholders
participate in influencing students’ education regardless of the individual income. |
