Abstract:
This study examined the actualization of key roles of stakeholders’ engagement in the implementation of transformational change in primary schools in Kinondoni Municipal, Tanzania. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through interviews with head teachers, teachers, and ward education officers, complemented by structured questionnaires administered to a representative sample of stakeholders. Findings revealed that active collaboration, parental involvement, effective communication, advocacy for resources, and awareness of educational policies significantly enhanced the successful implementation of reforms. However, challenges including financial constraints, capacity gaps among head teachers, and resistance from teachers and parents impeded progress. The study recommends targeted capacity-building, structured communication strategies, increased parental and community engagement, timely resource provision, and policy awareness campaigns to ensure that stakeholders’ engagement effectively supports educational reforms. These measures are essential for sustaining transformational change, improving school performance, and enhancing the quality of primary education in Kinondoni Municipal.
