These indeed have severe ramifications on the way the teaching services would be delivered. However, as mentioned earlier, it is not known to be a problem in the governance structure of the education sector. This is attested by the fact that it is not identified in the National Education Sector Plan (NESP) at national level as well as in the District Education Plans (DEP) at local level. As such it will take time to be addressed, yet it is one of the factors affecting the delivery of quality education. This being the case, the study recommends that; • Institute proper teacher performance monitoring systems for purposes of credible promotion of teachers as a motivation which will in turn raise their salaries on merit and will keep them happy; • Decentralize the salary processing system so that there is timely deliver of the salaries and reduce the frequency of anomalies in both the amounts and the list itself. This should accompanied by sufficient human resources in all the District Education Offices to ensure that the process is handled by competent hands. • Teacher Monitoring by the PEAs should be more systematic and include aspects of community monitoring since off school activities done by teachers seem to have great influence on time allocation by teachers. Such extracurricular activities such as businesses and farming have been seen to reduce contact time between teachers and pupils • The Malswitch Cards system should only be on teachers in urban schools than those in rural. If it is to go to rural, then the bank responsible should create village agencies so that teachers do not have to travel to town for their salaries. Furthermore, the system should be upgraded to real Cash-Collection Cards rather than the current ones which are merely used as identity cards. viii
• There is also need to institute a Portable Phone based information system to help inform teachers receiving money through banks that their money is available in the banks. With these, the study finds it necessary that when tracking the budget for salaries in the MOEST, processes and governance rules will also be tracked to find out what delays the salaries from the treasury up to the district. ix
