Keywords:
SMC, School Management, Community Participation in Schooling, Quality EducationAbstract
The school management committees (SMCs) or community participation
in schooling has great importance for the sustainability and quality of the
education. Through the concept of community participation it was
determined that the school administration and community people would
jointly undertake decisions regarding educational booming. The
community and school would work together to ensure the quality of the
education in school at primary level by enrolling maximum number of
children into school and retention of dropout, besides this the SMCs have
also responsibility to ensure the basic facilities to students and teachers
both. The Major role of SMCs is to ensure the quality of education by
assessment of teachers and students performances and confining them to
their roles and responsibilities.
The study was based upon the qualitative approach, the data was gathered
thorough key informants and Focus Group Discussions through purposive
sampling technique, the main respondents for the study were
educationists, higher education department management and some
respondents were also selected from the community.
The findings show that compared to the TORs of SMCs physical at ground
the impact were very rare due to many reasons i.e. teachers not accepting
the community intervention in schooling activities specially assessing the
teacher performance, the identified member of the SMCs were not
volunteering their time for SMCs activities and critical reason was that
most of the SMCs members were not educated.
