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.
