Investigating factors that affect the implementation of school improvement program in Gambeltu Cluster

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges of school improvement program at Gambeltu cluster, Ethiopia in 2013/2014. Twenty-two teachers were involved in the study selected through simple random sampling technique, and eight principals and two supervisors were selected using availability sampling. Moreover, eight parent- teacher association members were participated in the study. The study revealed that the participation of different stakeholders in the school improvement program is weak. This means teachers, students, parents, principals and supervisors’ coordination towards a common goal is not strong enough. The study, therefore, suggested that school management should take the responsibility to organize the efforts of different stakeholders for the effective implementation of the school improvement program
