Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between School Management Committee
(SMC) participation and the effectiveness of school management in primary
schools within Gulu District, Uganda. The challenge of improving parental
involvement at the basic educational level is pivotal for enhancing educational
outcomes. The objective was to establish the correlation between SMC
participation and school management effectiveness. Employing both qualitative
and quantitative methods, including in-depth interviews, focus group discussions,
direct observation, and documentary analysis, the study sampled 352 participants.
Data analysis, using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient, reveals a significant
positive correlation between SMC participation and school management
effectiveness. Recommendations include developing enhanced management
strategies and exploring additional variables like gender, political situation, and
religion.
