    Impact of training on work performance: A case of Secondary Schools in Chipata district
    (2016) KALYATA, Richard K.
    The study focused on students’ performance relative to the declining passing rated from 2013 to 2015 at 60.2%, 55.9% and 57% respectively. The study followed a mixed methods approach. The findings were that the performance of grade 12 pupils had in the past three years been deteriorating. It was also noted that the training of teachers had a positive impact on teacher’s work performance. It was however revealed that the training policy was being implemented in a haphazard manner. This coupled with the inadequate training needs analysis, poor coordination, discrimination in availing training opportunities, and public officials undertaking training without due authority were some of the contributing factors.The study recommended that there was need to review the current methods and criteria for training and the use of performance indicators as the basis for effective monitoring and evaluation of training and development

    A perspective of corporate governance practices at selected private schools in Lusaka district
    (2017) NYIMBILI, David
    This study was carried out among the private schools of Lusaka District to determine the level of corporate governance practices in selected private schools. It also assessed the level of compliance towards the appointment of management boards in private schools and the mechanism used to appoint the boards. The research employed the mixed methods research approach, utilising the survey research design. The findings revealed that only half of the private schools had boards of management in place which was contrary to the Education Act of 2011. It was also established that there was no common mechanism to appoint the boards. However, the study discovered that there was a fair balance between executive and non-executive types of boards. There was also evidence that these boards of management were selectively practicing principles of corporate governance.
