dc.description.abstractTanzanians have been participating in the delivery of education yet the sound contributions remained minimal in providing school facilities. Therefore, community participation in education is characterized as a vital strategy for improving educational delivery in secondary schools. Due to the importance of community participation in education, analysing the community participation in ongoing construction of classrooms in secondary schools in the studied area was undeniable. Specifically, the study analysed the following; (i) to analyse the role of community participation in ongoing construction of classrooms in secondary schools (ii) to assess the effectiveness of community participation in ongoing construction of classrooms in secondary schools (iii) to explore the extent to which government support the community participation in ongoing construction of classrooms in secondary schools (iv) to identify the challenges of community participation in ongoing construction of classrooms in secondary schools (v) to explain the useful measure to be taken to improve community participation in ongoing construction of classrooms in secondary schools. The study employed 90 respondents to collect data by use of interview, questionnaires, focus group discussions, field observations and documentary reviews. Quantitative data were analysed through Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) computer software while qualitative data were summarized and analysed manually. The study findings indicated that the communities were ineffective in the participation in ongoing construction of classrooms in secondary schools. Ineffective participation implies that there is minimal community participation in ongoing construction of classrooms for secondary schools. Also, the finding revealed challenges namely political interference, negative attitude, low government supports and low level of income which were reducing community participation in ongoing construction of classrooms. It was therefore recommended that strong efforts should be taken by the government and other stakeholders to educate the communities and politicians the mandatory of the communities to participate in improving school infrastructures.
