| dc.description.abstract | The study investigated and sought to link the Coordinating Centre Tutors leadership styles
with the performance of primary schools with particular reference to Amuru District, Uganda.
The research was conducted using both quantitative and qualitative approaches using survey,
and correlation as research designs. Data was collected using questionnaires, interview
guides, focus group discussion guide as well as review of available documents, and records
from CCTs and DEOs. Respondents made of DEO, DIS, Inspectors, teachers, head teachers,
and SMC members formed a population of 184 members. Data collected was analyzed using
the statistical package for social scientists (SPSS), where conclusions were drawn from tables
and figures from the package. The study revealed that CCTs employed the various path-goal
leadership styles that helped them earn the trust and respect of the stakeholders involved in
primary schools. The study also found that CCT’s work had made positive impact on the
performance of schools. The findings further revealed that CCT’s and DEO’s office worked
together to improve performance in schools. However, it was also noted that there was a
general lack of organized outreach activities developed for schools, low ability of pupils in
reading, writing, and interpreting simple numeracy. The study concludes that CCT’s
leadership styles have significant impact and influence on overall performance of schools.
The investigation recommends competence profiling of CCTs on what the schools, districts
and PTCs expect to do for any given term. It also recommends training of CCTs in
mentoring, coaching, and supporting skills. | en_US |
