Background
This study aims to examine the relationship between planning in USE and students’ performance in rural secondary schools in the Serere district.
Methodology
The research was conducted using both quantitative and qualitative approaches using Survey, Correlation, and Case study as Research Designs. Data was collected using Questionnaires Interviews and records targeting BOG and PTA Members, Teachers, and Head teachers as respondents from a sample size of 164 in Serere District USE schools. Data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Scientists where conclusions were drawn from tables and figures from the Package.
Results
Of the respondents 103 were males and 72 were females. It can be seen the low participation of females was because the number of educated female teachers employed for teaching in secondary schools located in rural areas (Serere district) is low. From the study findings, the majority do agree that planning was vital for the rural schools but rash to say that all the activities are done at the ministry rather than at school levels. The school management Plans its activities under given guidelines, they are funded, and then implementation is done.
Conclusion
From the results attained, it is evident that the planning of USE Influences students’ performance in rural secondary schools in Serere district. USE Schools whose planning is done by the ministry and more generalized as opposed to those schools that are planned for by the administrators and managers who implement policies perform poorly than those that had an established local planning unit or committee. This was possible because they planned for their scarce resources and got the best out of it.
Recommendations
Serere district council, parents, and other educational stakeholders should put forward strategies for constructing laboratories and combating the shortage of well-stocked libraries in district secondary schools.
