A simple random sampling techniques was used to select the 10 government, 10 private primary schools and 119 teachers from the 17 wards in Shinyanga Municipality. Data collection involved the use of questionnaires. The collected quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study found that while over half of teachers regularly use Quality Assurance feedback reports for instructional planning and alignment, a significant portion either rarely or never engage with them.
