Abstract
This study was aimed at to examine the current managerial effectiveness of wereda education officers in a decentralized education system in Mejengeir zone of Gambella Regional state. To achieve this objective, basic questions such as the extent to which wereda education officers are effective in carrying out major managerial functions, whether the existing structure is enabling, the extent to which stakeholders are supportive, what major factors do affect effectiveness; and how to improve performance to be effective were raised. To this end, descriptive survey method was employed. The respondents were 17 wereda education officers, 17 principals and vice principals, and 137 teachers selected from 532 population based on random, purposive, and availability sampling techniques. Information was gathered quantitatively through survey questionnaires and qualitatively through interviews, document analysis and observation. 171 copies of questionnaires were filled and returned. Various statistical tools such as percentages, means, T-test and Spearman Rank Order correlation Coefficient were used for data analysis. The findings of the study revealed that wereda education officers are incompetent to undertake many of the managerial functions effectively, the current structure is not enabling, and resources and educational in put are lacking. Moreover, the technical and professional support of key role players was minimal. This implies that the current performance of wereda education officers was found to be ineffective in attaining the decentralized management of education system. It was recommended that the concerned bodies should revise the structure that can absorb the required personnel and competent educational experts should be recruited based on competency. Moreover, the working environment and employee relationship need to be improved and employees should be motivated. On top of this, key stakeholders should be able to provide the required support to minimize many of educational problems.
