dc.description.abstract The study topic was “teacher staffing and service delivery in secondary schools of Uganda, a case study of selected schools in town council, Kibaale District, Uganda”. The schools included Buyanja, St. Kirigwajjo, St. John’s and Bwamiramira Community Secondary Schools. The purpose of the study was to establish how staffing of teachers impacts on service delivery in the selected Secondary Schools. Specific objectives were, to establish the number of teachers and its effects on syllabus coverage and students’ performance, number of teachers competent in co-curricular activities and its effects on the teaching and learning of co-curricular activities and, to find out the number of teachers and its effects on management and administration of the selected Secondary Schools. Descriptive, cross section survey and case study designs were adopted in order to allow the researcher to get different opinions from respondents, compare them and be able to test the study hypotheses. Questionnaire, interview and documentary review methods were used get data during the study. Narrative statements, tables of frequency, percentages and graphs were used to present, interpret, analyze and summarize the data. Findings were; teacher staffing in secondary schools was as low as 67.2% compared to the required number. The quality of teachers was low hence, negatively affecting service delivery in the schools under study. Conclusively, syllabus coverage, students’ performance, co-curricular activities, school management and administration were substandard where the major cause is low staffing of teachers in terms of number, qualification and work experience across the schools selected for the study. It is recommended that the Government should deploy more teachers in government aided schools to boost service delivery and so should the proprietors of private secondary schools. Continuous refresher trainings should be organized to equip teachers with skills to handle co-curricular activities and also equip head teachers with school management skills in order to improve service delivery in Kibaale Town Council Secondary Schools. en_US
