| dc.description | This study assessed the roles of training and development on improving employee’s performance in primary schools in Tanzania the case of Ilala Municipal. Specifically, the study assess the extent to which lack of training and development have contributed to poor performance of employees in primary school in Tanzania, examining types of training given to employees in relation to new subjects and curriculum, analyzing the systematic and structural problems that hinders training and development to primary school Teachers in Tanzania. The study was qualitative with some aspects of quantitative approach with 100 respondents. They were 95 teachers, 4 school inspectors and 1 Municipal education officer. Data were collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussion and from documentary evidence. Evidence from the findings show that, training and development is not a priority in the sector for example there are neither training strategic plan nor policy guide for the same, teachers were obliged to teach new subjects prior to the training on how to teach them. Also the government does not allocate funds for training, teachers are not permitted to go for training even at their own costs and there are no proper formalities and procedure for training. The study has also revealed that types of training provided to teachers is not compatible with their knowledge and skill gap as a result they can neither deliver nor meet intended ends as well as be in a position to overcome the ongoing changes and challenges. The study also uncovers the systematic and structural problems that hinder training and development of teachers in Tanzania. They include governance particularly decision making, lack of training tools, as well as inconsistence in the number of employees and pupils which results into overloading teachers. Thus, poor employee performance is a result of lack of training of teachers in Tanzania. Based on findings the study recommends for the education sector to increase the allocation of resources for staff training, which in turn would increase its contribution towards improving employee performance. | |
