Assessment, implementation, Results Based Management, teachers, district

The aim of the present study is to investigate the way how schools are executing the Result Based Management (RBM) system in Mutasa District of Zimbabwe s Manicaland Province. The population comprised all the teachers in the district.. The study employed the quantitative methodology and adopted the descriptive survey design. All the data was collected through a questionnaire which largely had close-ended questions and one open-ended question. The study revealed that teachers as one of the key stakeholders in the education system were not involved during the policy formulation of RBM. The study also reveals that heads of schools lacked the experience and expertise to guide teachers on this management system. There were very inadequate resources to implement the system. The study recommends that adequate resources should be provided in order to effectively implement RBM in schools. Heads of schools should be thoroughly trained so that they may better understand the system in order for them to effectively facilitate its full implementation.
