Purposive sampling was also used to collect data from respondents that participated in the study. Findings of the study were obtained from the field interpreting the results analyzing basing on the specific objectives of the study and chapter five portrayed the summary of findings, recommendations were made such there is need to strengthen the inspection function of the central and local governments. Effective supervision should be necessary to reduce the high teacher absence rate in public primary schools as found in Ibis study, the Ministry of Education should strengthen its inspectorate departments both at national and district level. This would involve appropriating funds, recruiting, training and motivating manpower in the key inspection positions at both central and local government levels. Civil society should also be allowed to undertake school inspections and submit reports to the education ministry for action. It was found out that due to resource constraints, the frequency of school inspections done per school on an annual basis was extremely low. It was found that 2 schools had been inspected only once in a period of one year, 5 schools in six months, 8 schools after a month and only 5 schools in a week's time by the district inspector of schools. Of the aspects of school supervision, staff absenteeism was only monitored in 4 schools, implying that the inspectors did not consider monitoring teacher absenteeism in the remaining 5 schools of Rubuguri town council.
