| dc.description.abstract | Education is a right to every person. It has been placed as one of the priorities under
Millennium Development Goals by United Nations. Uganda used education to improve
socio-economic development of its citizen; Poverty Eradication Action Plan (PEAP).
Foundation of education is basic education, built solidly by the teachers. The
performance of teachers has not been good in Uganda’s primary schools: high rate of
absenteeism, poor time management, lack of lesson preparation and poor assessment of
the learners. This poor performances by the teachers occurred despite the established
quality control system available. Therefore, this study was carried out to examine the
relationship between quality control and teachers’ performance in primary schools in
Gulu District. The specific objectives were: to examine the relationship between set
standards, monitoring, support supervision, mentoring, and performance of the teachers
in primary schools in Gulu District. The study employed a crossed-sectional survey
design. The key respondents were teachers from sampled primary schools, where by
informants included head teachers, and education managers at various levels in the
District. Key findings indicated that set standards and mentoring have high levels of
significance, while support supervision and monitoring were not significantly related to
teachers’ performance. Key recommendations are; adequate resources for lesson
preparation should be availed to the teachers and implementation of the scheme of
service be effected to enhance teachers’ performance to set standards. Teachers
accommodation at school campuses should be a priority to enable teachers live and
mentor each other more effectively. The school Inspectors should have a continuous
professional development and good customer care short course to enable them be relevant
and effective in their duties. The study suggests that a research be conducted on
Government Policies of automatic promotion and ban on canning in schools, they are
assumed responsible for the decline in quality of education. This will help policy makers
improve on quality of education. It is also important if a study is conducted to find out
why support supervision has no positive significant to teachers’ performance, as this
study established , to enable policy makers aware of the salient issues | en_US |
