Abstract
This study intended to investigate the challenges facing Public Secondary Schools in the promotion of teachers in Ilemela Municipal council, Mwanza region. The population of the study included officers from the TSD and HRD, MD, MSEO and teachers from Ilemela Municipal council who were obtained through both probability and nonprobability sampling techniques whereby simple random sampling and purposive sampling techniques were used. The study sample comprised 64 respondents. Also, the methods of data collection employed were questionnaires, interview and documentary review. The data were analysed using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Besides, a Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) was used for quantitative data. The findings indicate that there are some delays in the promotion of PSST. The reason for delays include the negligence of the responsible officials, some teachers reaching the bar, poor record keeping in the TSD office, the delay to get the TSD number and budget deficit. The challenges facing the TSD, HRD, MSEO and the MD were identified and how the situation can be improved through both primary and secondary data from the case. The study recommends the following: Trainings should be given to PSST in IMC on the promotion criteria and procedures so as to make them aware of these criteria and
procedures; Record keeping and information management should be improved for promotion reasons; Mechanisms to minimize bureaucracy in the promotion process should be designed in order to reduce the time to process teachers‟ promotions; Promotion rights for promoted employees should go timely with employees‟ rights such as salary increment; There should be a special fund allocated separately and adequately
for promotion of PSST; The management should promote the PSST accordingly and immediately after they have attained the required qualifications.
