The research was a case study design covering Morogoro Municipality. A sample size of 70 respondents was obtained by using stratified, purposive and accidental techniques of which both primary and secondary data were collected by using interview, questionnaire and documentary review and analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The data were collected from teachers, students and head teachers from selected primary schools, MMC Officers, and Parents. The results revealed that, presence of time wasters to the teachers and students, absentees and late comers for both teachers and students, the behavior of procrastinating school activities, ineffectiveness in supervision by education officers, teachers and parents, lack of adherence to schools’ rules and regulations and also lack of motivation especially to the teachers, have contributed to the poor teaching and learning performance for teachers and students respectively, in primary schools at MM. The study recommends, for example, the teachers should set their individual goals from school targets of which will help them focusing on achieving those goals so as schools targets; as for the students, it is important for them to be self-disciplined, also reallocation of teachers and students to the nearby schools from home to reduce absenteeism rate and late coming, The parents are also recommended to provide necessary school items for their children, dedicate their time to monitor children’s progress at school and their behavior after school hours, and communicate to the teachers for effective supervision.
