The research aimed to examine the challenges faced by circuit supervisors in the Awutu
Senya West District of Ghana, utilizing a qualitative method with a phenomenological
design. Data was collected through focus group discussions and interviews involving
fifteen participants, including circuit supervisors and head teachers. Purposive
sampling was employed to select nine circuit supervisors and six headteachers from the
Awutu Senya West District. The study identified several multi-faceted challenges
facing circuit supervisors in the Awutu Senya West District ranging from dilapidated
infrastructure and inadequate funding to issues related to professional development,
interpersonal dynamics, and time constraints. These challenges collectively contribute
to a complex environment that hampers effective supervision in underserved schools
which implications of the identified challenges underscore the urgency of intervention
and needs swift and targeted interventions are imperative to address these challenges
comprehensively. To enhance supervision within the district, there is the need for the
district assembly to advocate for and invest in infrastructure improvements, particularly
the construction and maintenance of roads to facilitate easier access to underserved
schools, the study recommends financial support and logistics provision from the
Awutu Senya West District Assembly to support supervision in underserved schools.
Again, there should be promotion of positive interpersonal dynamics among
supervisors and teachers and ultimately, Awutu West District Assembly and education
administrators should forge partnerships with philanthropists, NGOs, and other
financial backers to provide immediate support to avert the challenges in supervision
in Awutu Senya West District of Ghana. |
