Abstract

This research focused on the Policy and Practice of Pension and Retirement Scheme in Selected Private Preparatory Schools of Kolfe Keranyo Sub City, Addis Ababa City Administration. It gave emphasis to the knowledge, perception and acceptance of teachers of the sample under study. To conduct this study a descriptive survey design was employed. The participants of the study were 102 teachers, 20 administrators and 5 officers from POESSA. The schoolsand the teachers were selected by simple random sampling methods while administrators and officers from POESSA were selected by purposive sampling method. The data were gathered through questionnaire, interview, focus group discussion, and document analysis. The data gathered through questionnaire were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and grand mean value of the respondents using SPSS version 16 computer software. Data obtained through interview, FGD and document analysis were qualitatively narrated, while the data obtained through questionnaire were analyzed quantitatively. The finding of the study generally showed that the existing practice of the Pension and Retirement Scheme Policy had drawbacks including knowledge gap by the teachers, lack of willingness towards to pension contribution, teachers pessimism towards to the pension benefit, lack of clarity of pension policy, and future expectations . Based on the finding it was concluded that: knowledge of pension and acceptance of information about pension are closely linked, the majority of the respondents didn’t worry about saving since it was very distant. The younger teachers did not hunt for information while the older ones were searching for it seriously. There were also perception problem and lack of clarity about retirement and pension scheme. In line to the above findings and conclusions it was recommended that the school administrators need to work with the teachers in order to alleviate the knowledge gap that was created on teachers by providing training; and also proper implementation of the pension scheme would be expected from the administrative staff. Furthermore, the officers from the POESSA need to give capacity building training for the school administrators and the teachers by providing different seminars to fill the knowledge gap. By doing so, it is possible to avert their perceptions towards the pension and retirement scheme.
