| dc.description.abstract | This study aimed to find out constraints in managing community secondary schools in Tanzania with specific reference to Morogoro Municipality. Specifically the study intended to; (i) identify constraints that school heads experience in managing community secondary schools in Tanzania with specific reference to Morogoro their administration experience in managing community secondary schools and link these variables to their effectiveness in performing school management responsibilities and finally, (iii) examine the impact of constraints on management of community secondary schools in Morogoro Municipality. The Open system model by Hoy and Miskel (2001) formed the conceptual framework in this study. The study employed a descriptive survey design to 73 purposively and randomly selected the school heads and other education coordinators in Morogoro Municipality. The findings indicated that, the inadequacy of the school heads’ academic qualifications; interference from political leaders, delayed responses, lack of participatory decision making, low cooperation with teachers and unfriendly working environment were the major constraints facing the school heads in managing community secondary schools. The study concludes that, the identified constraints have resulted into ineffective management of community schools. The study recommends an urgent need to review procedures and criteria of appointing the school heads as stipulated by the 1995 Education and Training policy which was reviewed in 2009.The study further argues that politics should not interfere school heads’ authority. | |
