Abstract

This study investigated the capacity of District Councils to manage newly appointed Primary School Teachers in Tanzania with reference to Kisarawe District Council. The study was descriptive in nature. A total of 240 respondents participated in the study. Of whom 13 were education officials, 40 newly appointed teachers and 187 teachers with teaching experience of at least 5 years. Data were collected using questionnaire, document review and focus group discussion. The findings indicated that newly appointed teachers faced managerial challenges that led them fail to satisfy their safety, physiological and cognitive needs. Though the present study was at a small scale, involving only one district, it forms the basis for further understanding of how best to change management style in district councils so as to ensure that the need of the newly appointed teachers are realised in order to reduce tension among teachers and district council management.
