Abstract

Using two research questionnaires, one for 150 randomly selected teachers and other one for all 8 supervisors, this research reveals that supervision directly and indirectly brings improvements in students‟ academic and non-academic performances. Supervision helps teachers improve their regularity and punctuality. In addition to the visit of the schools, supervisors talks with teachers about their problems and try to give suggestions to resolve them. After evaluating teachers „tasks, supervisors give them their feedback. Supervision also focuses on the basic necessities of the schools including especially electrification, boundary wall, water supply system and group latrine, etc. Supervisors on the other hand are not satisfied with the facilities provided for their supervision. Supervisors on average remained neutral on the question of their authorities; they neither agreed nor disagreed with the status of their authorities. Among the problems supervisors faced included: supervisors are over-burdened for proper supervision; the lack of resources hinders their supervision activities; and their numbers of supervisory visits are too much.
