| dc.description.abstract | This study was set out to determine the impact of government spending on development of Government primary schools physical infrastructures. Specifically, the research was undertaken to find out the attitude of stakeholders towards Government spending in primary education, to determine the level of Government funding for physical infrastructure, to know how the funds for physical infrastructure are managed by a relevant authority and to determine the level of development of primary schools physical infrastructure in terms of quality and capacity. The study adopted case study design and cross-sectional data collected from 68 randomly selected respondents from 34 schools located in Morogoro Municipal Council to obtain relevant data for the survey. Data were collected through administered questionnaires and key informant interview. SPSS program was used for analysing quantitative data; whereby descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were carried out. The results of the study show that, to a certain extent there is a slightly positive impact of government spending in primary school physical infrastructure since respondents mentioned some achievements obtained from government fund. The actual amount of money reaching schools for capitation grants is clearly much less today compared to increase in enrolments of pupils. . In overall, the level of development of primary school physical infrastructures is not adequate enough; the numbers of classrooms, latrines and staff houses constructed in the surveyed schools are too small compared to the actual demands. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the budget be increased. The funding should also be based on actual requirements of schools. The full amount of capitation grants stipulated in the policy should reach schools in a predictable and timely manner. Governments and stakeholders in educational sector should seek for the improvement of physical structures and facilities by providing more essential ones and repairing the damaged ones through educational subsidies to aid teaching/learning in pre-schools | |
