Implementation of Professional Conduct Policy Selected UPE Schools in Amudat Sub-County, Amudat district, Uganda. A cross-sectional study.
Résumé
Background: School Policy Implementation plays a central role in shaping institutional practices, professional standards, and performance outcomes in educational institutions. The study aims to determine the relationship between the implementation of professional conduct policy and teacher performance in selected public primary schools in Amudat Sub-County. Methodology: The study adopted a descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional research design to examine the relationship between School Policy Implementation and teacher performance in selected public primary schools in Amudat Sub-County, Uganda. Quantitative data collected from the structured questionnaires were coded, entered, and analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences software. Results: The majority of respondents were male (58%), while females constituted 42%. Implementation of professional conduct policies in public primary schools in Amudat Sub-County was generally low, with an overall mean score of 2.41. Most of the indicators scored below the midpoint of 3.0, suggesting that key aspects of policy implementation, such as communication, enforcement, monitoring, and training, were inadequately practised. The lowest mean scores were observed in areas such as provision of training on professional conduct policies (Mean = 2.20), regular review of policies (Mean = 2.18), and consistency in implementation (Mean = 2.25). Teacher performance in public primary schools in Amudat Sub-County is generally moderate, with an overall mean score of 2.70. There is a strong positive relationship between the implementation of professional conduct policies and teacher performance (r = 0.612, p < 0.01). Conclusion: Implementation of professional conduct policies in public primary schools in Amudat Sub-County is generally low and inconsistently enforced. Weak communication, limited supervision, and inadequate accountability mechanisms reduce the effectiveness of these policies. Recommendations: The Ministry of Education and Sports and district education authorities should strengthen the communication and dissemination of professional conduct policies to ensure all teachers clearly understand expected standards of behaviour and performance.
