Primary and secondary school curriculum materials alignment and their classroom Implementation, Ethiopia
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine curriculum material alignment. Mixed approach of quantitative and qualitative study was employed. A sample of four primary schools and four secondary schools were selected randomly. The findings from the data revealed that curriculum implementation is ineffective. Shortage of materials and students’ problems are worth noting. On the basis of the finding, it was recommended to combat the problem by providing the means and materials for schools. The school should develop the culture of organizing the efforts of teachers and students to generate fund and promote self-sufficiency in the long run.
