Dissertation (MA Education)This study investigated the secondary school teachers’ perceptions towards school inspection in Zanzibar focusing on Mjini District of Unguja as a case study. The Scientific Management and Human Relation Theories guided the thinking of the study. The study was qualitative in nature with descriptive research design. The study involved seven secondary schools situated in Mjini District, Zanzibar. A total number of 71 respondents were involved. Data collection methods included the use of questionnaires, interviews and documentary review. The study found that most of the secondary school teachers had positive perceptions towards school inspection on improving the teaching and learning in secondary schools. However, some of the school inspectors used harsh language when in contact with teachers. It was also found that there was a shortage of school inspectors, which hindered effective inspection in schools. The extended time for working hours and the absence of some teachers during inspection days, lack of cooperation between teachers and school inspectors during school inspection affected the improvement of the teaching and learning. The findings indicated further that the school inspectors faced with the challenges of inadequate transport, lack of funds to support their school visits and lack of implementation of the given advice and recommendations. It is recommended that special training programs need to be conducted for the teachers and school inspectors to improve their professional skills as well as improving the school inspector-teacher relationship. The Ministry of Education and the district education officers need to work on the school inspection report and recommendations to improve the quality of education provided
