The following objectives guided the study: i) to find out the relationship between decision making roles of the boards and school management in Public secondary schools in Bukoba Municipal; ii) to establish the relationship between the level of accountability of school boards and school management in Public secondary schools in Bukoba Municipal; iii) to assess the relationship between the advisory role of school boards and school management in Public secondary schools in Bukoba Municipal; and iv) to determine the relationship between school boards and school management in Public secondary schools in Bukoba Municipal. The study used cross-sectional design employing both quantitative and qualitative approaches from a sample size of 164 respondents which included the school board members and the head teachers. The response rate of the study was 9Q% given the fact that 147 questionnaires returned from 164 that were distributed. The research instruments included both questionnaires and interview guide. Data was analysed using frequency and percentage tables; mean and standard deviations, Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis. The study found that in the first objective there was a moderate and positive relationship between board decision making roles and school management ((r=.599* R2=.358, p<O.05). The second objective found a strong and positive relationship between accountability roles of school boards and school management (r=.851** R2=J25, p<O~O1). The third objective of this study found a strong and positive relationship between school board advisory role and school management (r=O~848~ R2=.718, p<O.O1). The fourth objective found a strong and positive relationship between school boards and school management (r=O.805** R2=.821, p<O~O1). The study concluded that school boards are very important in ensuring better school management. The study made the following recommendations: The need for the school boards to put their efforts in supervising and strengthening their relationships with the teachers and the parents; the need for the school boards to emphasize parents’ involvement in school meetings and their students’ affairs; the need for the government to set a side special funding for the school boards; the need to strengthen the capacity of the school boards for them to understand their strategic role in building a productive relationship with the head teachers while holding them to account for school performance and better school management | en_US |
