THE Ministry of Education and Vocational Training conducted impromptu inspections at primary and secondary schools in Dar es Salaam.
The inspection carried out on Thursday by the Permanent Secretary, Prof Sifuni Mchome and his Deputy, Consolata Mgimba is expected to travel to other parts of the country for inspection.
He said that it was discovered that the teachers’ attendance is poor and that other teachers report to their work places late and leave early. “Some teachers are not teaching thus affecting the performance of students,” he stated.
He also said that in most secondary schools visited, they discovered that many subjects are not taught, while heads of schools and teachers did not fulfil their responsibility of teaching.
It was also discovered that there was also a very poor system of recording student’s attendance and in some schools the exercise was left to the students themselves.
The secondary schools audited included, Mtakuja,Twiga, Pugu, Juhudi, Yusuph Makamba, Azania, Benjamin William Mkapa, Kiluvya, Kibamba, Miburani, Chang’ombe, Kinyerezi, Ari and Makurumla.
Audited primary schools include Mtakuja, Gongolamboto,
Uhuru Mchanganyiko, Kiluvya, Mgulani and Maendeleo. Prof Mchome urged administrators of the schools to effectively manage them, as the auditing exercise is ongoing and will cover all parts of the country.
