dc.description.abstractThe Primary Education Development Program (PEDP) is one of the current education programs adopted in the country to increase the quantity and quality of primary schools in Tanzania. The overall purpose of this study was to determine factors affecting community participation in primary education projects. Specifically, the study sought to: (a) determine the level of community participation in education projects, (b) identify the socio-economic factors associated with the level of individual participation in education projects, (c) determine individual attitude towards participation in education projects (d) find out constraints that hinder individual participation in education projects. The interview schedule was used as the main tool in data collection from 120 respondents. The data collected were analysed using quantitative approach. The study shows that the majority (85.8%) of respondents participated in implementation, while 60.8%, 30.8% and 21.7% respectively participated in project identification, project planning and project evaluation. On other hand, the research found that among hypothesized factors, sex, age, income, occupation and individual participation in education projects were the factors affecting community participation in the study area. Basing on the study results it is recommended among others that there is need for central government to help in providing vital training for village leaders particularly in the area of village bylaws formulation as well as administration. Also, regular communication should be maintained between the leaders and villagers through proper scheduled meeting.
