Besides this, principals used several approaches in supervising the implementation of instructional practices. Some approaches like use of students to monitor teacher lesson attendance and visiting class to observe a teacher were rarely used. Most principals involved their subordinates in decision making. Schools faced challenges that include inadequate trained teachers and learning/ teaching materials, inadequate science laboratories and lack of time to check on the teachers’ and students’ work by principals. Study recommends that the school provide more learning materials and facilities like science laboratories and libraries. The woreda education office have better to employ more teachers to the schools with understaffing in order to relieve the current teacher of the work load and ensure timely syllabus coverage as this will significantly impact to effectiveness of principals. Principals have better to delegate mores duties to their stake holders in order to save time to assess both the students’ and teachers’ commitment to their work.

Perception, Practices and Problems of School Improvement Program Implementation: The case of selected secondary schools in Hawassa City Administration, Ethiopia

The primary goal of this study was to investigate the practise and problems of school improvement programme implementation in Hawassa City Administration Government Secondary Schools, with a focus on perceptions, practices, and challenges that affect its proper implementation, and to find solutions to ensure the success of SIP in Hawassa City Administration Government Secondary Schools. A mixed study strategy that included both quantitative and qualitative data was used to accomplish this goal. The research was carried out at four secondary schools in the Hawasa City Administration. Teachers, administrators, school board members, PTA members, student councils, and Hawasa City Education Department officials were the primary data sources. The sample teacher respondents were chosen using a simple random sampling approach, whereas school boards, principals, vice principals, educational officers, SIC, and PTA members were chosen using a purposive sampling technique. The information was gathered through questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups. After collecting the data, it was processed using SPSS-V20 software and evaluated using descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviations, and ranges. Furthermore, the t-test was employed to assess the association between teachers' and other respondents' replies to study variables. The study's findings revealed that the level of engagement of teachers, leaders, and parents in planning and executing SIP was low; the system for monitoring and evaluation used to support SIP implementation was unable to properly conduct SIP. Furthermore, the majority of the activities across the four domains were carried out at a moderate level. Overall SIP adoption was moderate as a result of the study's findings. A lack of a properly prepared plan for SIP implementation, a lack of proper understanding of SIP at the school level, a weak monitoring and evaluation system of SIP, a lack of leadership capacity, different organs of the school not properly understanding their role in SIP, a lack of sufficient stakeholder involvement in SIP, and a lack of attention for SIP were major factors that hampered SIP implementation. To address the challenges and improve the implementation of SIP, it was suggested that schools prepare adequate awareness-creation programs to ensure practical involvement of all stakeholders in SIP implementation, make school committees functional, and strengthen monitoring and evaluation of school improvement programme implementation.

Shelter Implementation Plan at the Stage of Radiation Risks Elimination for Public

Efficiency of the SIP projects, which already have been implemented at the Shelter, are analyzed in this paper in the context of the staged elimination of radiation risks for public. It starts with the analysis of the Shelter state in 1998 before SIP implementation compared with the state after implementation of stabilization and other measures and finally with the state which is reached after construction of the New Safe Confinement (NSC). A probabilistic approach has been used for the analysis. Measures to be implemented in the future are mentioned in conclusions.
