The subjects of the study were two hundred fourteen (i.e. J 60 teachers and 54 school
management bodies) drawn from the ten sample primary schools, selecting one fro 111 each
sub-city, of Addis Ababa. Teachers and school management bodies were selected using
systematic samplillg technique and availability sampling technique respectively. Three
kinds of data collection instruments were used in this study, namely; questionnaire,
observation and interview. The data collected using these instruments were analyzed by
making use of different statistical analysis methods and qualitative description, such as
frequency counting percentage, mean and description of some qualitative data .
The findings (i.e. the results) indicated that the management of self-contained classroom
teaching system. in Addis Ababa city government was found to be unsatisfactory. This
happened mainly due to lack of well-trained manpower and in availability of appropriate
resource and facilities and poor managerial competence. For this reason, the system was
not properly implemellted. Consequently, the Addis Ababa Education Bureau is expected
to assign those school lIlanagement bodies and teachers who are \Veil trained (lIId
experienced ones along with the necessary teaching facilities in order to effectively
manage the self-contained classroom teaching system as expected .
