| dc.description.abstract | The main objective of this study was to assess the practices and challenges of school based tutorial program for female students’ in general secondary schools of North Western zone of Tigray National Regional State. To this effect, basic questions were raised regarding the implementation of school based tutorial program for female students, the necessary supports and facilities made available to implement school based tutorial program and the major factors influencing female students’ school based tutorial program implementation. This study employed descriptive survey design and made use of quantitative and qualitative approaches. To get valid and reliable information this study obtained data from both primary and secondary sources. The primary sources were female students, teachers, school principals, vice principals and supervisors of Woreda education office using questionnaires, semi structured interview and observation checklist. The secondary sources were school documents and guidelines. In this study, both probability and non-probability sampling techniques were employed. From 8 Woredas of the zone, one urban and four rural Woredas were selected using stratified sampling technique. A total of 175 female students and 69 teachers were taken using simple random sampling. A total of 5 school principals, 5 vice principals and 5 Woreda supervisors were used as a source of data using purposive sampling method, and 50 parents of female students were taken using snow ball technique. The data gathered were analyzed by percentage and mean. The results of the data analysis revealed that the school management did not make the necessary follow up of the tutorial program. The cooperation of the stakeholders and school level actors for female students’ school based tutorial program was not sufficient. Incentives for teachers /high scored female students were low. Lack of interest of female students, home school distance, and inconsistency of the tutorial program and shortage of classrooms were the major school related factors negatively influencing the implementation of female students’ tutorial programs. Early marriage, using girls as care givers and assistants for mothers and as source of labor were major socio cultural factors impacting the implementation of the tutorial programs. Low economic level of parents had also negative impact on female students’ tutorial program. Therefore, to alleviate these problems, stakeholders and school level actors should be interconnected and play a significant role in coordinating, supporting, monitoring and evaluating the implementation of tutorial programs. Schools and Woreda education offices should allocate annual budget from the school budget. It is also advisable for other government offices and NGOs to encourage the implementation of the tutorial program in opening schools closer to the local community and building additional classes in the existing schools to minimize the challenges of female student’s tutorial program. | en_US |
