Abstract
Owing to the poor performance in mathematics and science by secondary school pupils in Botswana, the Ministry of Basic Education (MOBE) decided to implement the Strengthening of Mathematics and Science in Secondary Education (SMASSE) project to improve learner performance. This study therefore sought to evaluate the execution of the SMASSE project and identify the challenges bedevilling its implementation. The study adopted a survey design and quantitative methodology where data was collected using a selfadministered questionnaire. Data was analysed through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings of the study revealed daunting challenges in the implementation of the SMASSE project such as inadequate top management support, ineffective communication of the project triple constraints, inadequate definition of project goals and inadequate funding. The study proffered suggestions to enhance the effectiveness of project management in the MOBE as well as assisting in revamping policy development initiatives for project management.
