dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the effect of teacher development and management system (TDMS) training programme on the performance of head teachers in the management of public primary schools in the Greater Masaka Region of Uganda. This was prompted by public outcry over the deteriorating standards of primary education in the region despite Government efforts to improve performance of school heads. The researchers employed a descriptive, cross-sectional sample survey research design. Data were collected with the use of survey and interview methods from 234 head teachers, 364 teachers, 19 Centre Coordinating tutors (CCTs), six Education Officers (DEOs) and six District Inspectors of Schools (DISs) selected through purposive and stratified random sampling techniques. The data were analyzed with the use of appropriate descriptive (mean, percentage, SD) and inferential (t-test) statistical techniques as well as content analysis methods. Study results revealed a significant difference in the performance of trained and untrained head teachers: the trained ones managed schools better than their untrained counter-parts. Second, the TDMS programme had weaknesses in its curriculum and delivery. Finally, training in institutional leadership (p=0.043<.05), school governance (p=0.044<.05), and personnel (p=0.031<.05) management were found to have a positive significant effect on the performance of head teachers in the management of public primary schools. The researchers thus concluded that the TDMS programme was largely effective in improving the performance of head teachers in the management of public primary schools in the Greater Masaka Region of Uganda, other factors notwithstanding. It was thus recommended that Government of Uganda should continue training head teachers, strengthening their training curriculum and make training opportunities more accessible to many teachers. This would enable head teachers to improve their performance as well as that of their teachers and pupils.en_US
