The findins of the study reavealed that teacher and supervisor respondents perceived the purpose, roles and funtion, leadersip skills and techniques of Borena Zone were made to be involved in the difficult tasks of supervision without havin any prior training. Moreover, according to the findings, supervisors lack skills, knowlede and techniques to carry out supervisory activities. Teachers and supervisrors further confirmed that, supervisory activities were constratined by the absence of competent supervisors, the negative attitude teachers and supervisors have towards each other and lack of adequate budget in Borena Zone primary schools. In general, the instructional supervision was not perceived as a helping endeavour by teachersand the program failed to attain the objective. Hence, it was recommended in order to raise the knoledge level, technical skill and competence of supervisors, short and long term trainin have to be offered to them. At the same time, the regional, zonal and Woreda have to assign competent senior teachers as supervisors, have to create awareness for teachers and supervisors on the objective of supervision and have to allocate sufficient budet for supervision program to bring about progress or improvement in the teaching-learning process.
