dc.description.abstract | This study examined the involvement of school committees in overseeing day-to-day school affairs. The qualitative study conducted in 16 public primary schools in Tanzania‘s Tabora Municipality used interviews, questionnaires and documentary review to get the necessary data from 60 respondents. It established that school committees operated on ad hoc, agenda-driven basis. The operational problems they faced included high transport and materials costs, lack of incentives and conflicts with village councils over school funds. Also, the school capitation and investment grants were inadequate. The study, therefore, recommends capacity-building for school committees to enhance their performance in overseeing day-to-day school affairs. | en_US |
