| dc.description.abstract | This study examines community participation in school improvement program (sip): the case of Addis Ketema sub-city secondary schools. Using a mixed research approach with descriptive research designs, data were collected from 377 participants selected through random, stratified, and purposive sampling from a population of 21,236. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26, applying descriptive statistics using questionnaire, interview and document review instruments for collecting data. The findings revealed that while parents were actively involved in program implementation, they felt excluded from decision-making. Teachers experienced moderate engagement but desired greater involvement, and students felt largely disconnected from SIP activities. Principals and supervisors, however, showed strong participation in decision-making, planning, and monitoring processes. The study concluded that the active involvement of parents, teachers, students, principals, and supervisors is crucial for improving education quality. However, resource constraints, administrative burdens, and barriers such as limited opportunities for decision-making, communication issues, and financial challenges hinder effective participation. Based on these findings, the researcher recommends increasing parental involvement in decision-making through regular meetings, enhancing teacher inclusion in planning, providing leadership training for principals, promoting collaborative leadership, and creating more opportunities for student engagement and leadership roles. The study suggests further research and policy makers to work and implement on diverse participation levels, including longitudinal studies and exploring communication strategies to engage underrepresented groups in SIP activities. | |
