Abstract
The general objective of this study was to assess the Implementation of SIP in teaching and
learning process, school leadership and management, school environment and relation
among parents at primary and secondary schools. In addition, the study aims in identifying
t h e challenges encountered in implementing the SIP. A mixed approach with purposive and
simple random sampling techniques was used to select teachers and students from primary and
secondary schools of East Wollega in oromia region. The principal objectives such as to
examine SIP status, identify its impacts and assessing the improvements made by the program
evaluated carefully. The surveyed data were analyzed using SPSS. The findings of the study
reveal that relatively encouraging achievements have been made at the school environment and
community involvement domains were found to be very low; The overall existing school
environment in the sampled schools is not to the required level; the over existing school
leadership and management in the school is not encouraging. Furthermore, lack of reward for
those who performed well it, lack of awareness, and practical involvement of the community
lack of awareness among students, and teachers, insufficient budget, lack of effective
leadership were identified as the major challenges in implementing SIP. The findings also
indicated that there are no integrated effort of all stakeholders in the implementation process
.This indicates that the school improvement program has become a well-articulated program in
the document, but it is not as fruitful as it was expected on the ground. In its third year
implementation stage and significant land marks, improvements were not observed so far in all
domains, from the four domains the most discouraging being the school environment and the
community involvement domains.
