Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine practices and challenges of school inspection in
selected government primary school in Nifas Silk Lafto Sub-city Addis Ababa. Seven primary
schools from four Weredas were selected via random sampling technique for this study. Four
objectives and four research questions were formulated to guide the study. To attain the stated
objective of the study, descriptive survey design was used. Both quantitative and qualitative
methods were employed in this research. This method helped to obtain firsthand information
from multiple sources. The population of the study was 217 and a sample of 147 respondents was
used. Questionnaires and interview were used to collect primary data. The questionnaire was
formulated on a modified five (5) point Likert scale. The collected data were analyzed by using
IBM SPSS statistics and presented in tables in terms of mean value, standard deviation and
interpreted by words. The result indicated that lack of technical skills for the proper
implementation of classroom observations, inadequate skill and knowledge of school inspectors,
low awareness of teachers towards inspection, low expectation of teachers towards school
inspectors. Due to these different problems, it implies that the practice of school inspection was
not implemented properly in Nifas Silk Lafto sub city of primary schools. Due to these, it is
recommended that Addis Ababa Education Regulatory Agency should arrange and implement
consistent and practical in-service and refresher trainings to build professional capacities of the
inspectors. School inspector is responsible for providing adequate support to the trainee for the
development of their leaning requirement and ensuring that appropriate training opportunities
are made available to acquire the necessary competencies. Nifas Silk Lafto sub city Education
office by cooperation of Wereda education office should be provide relevant and sufficient
training program.
