Quality education-secondary Free basic education Student's enrolment A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Social Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree award of Master of Art in Education (MAED) of Mzumbe University This case study sought to assess the effects of increasing student's enrollment to the quality of education in the selected four secondary schools in Njombe urban Tanzania. It intended to find out the perceptions of stakeholders on the quality of education, the outcomes of free basic education programme to the quality of learning process and identifying the effects of increasing enrollment of students to gender disparity in selected secondary schools in Njombe Urban district. Data were collected by using interviews, questionnaires and documentary review. The study used a sample size of 75 respondents through quota and purposive sampling techniques. Quantitative data were descriptively analysed to get frequencies, percentages and cross-tabulations by using the statistical package for social science(SPSS). The content analysis facilitated the analysis of qualitative data. It was evidenced that stakeholders were aware that quality education is attained by availability of quality teachers sufficient books, chairs, tables for students and laboratories as well as conducive learning environment. The expected quality standards ware also not revealed in the selected schools. This was evidenced by, insufficient teachers to some subjects, lack of enough books, funds and necessary infrastructures such as laboratories. Insufficient resources were perceived to be caused by increased enrollment which has resulted to overcrowded classes Following the unconducive teaching and learning environments in the selected schools, performance of students in their final examinations have been deteriorating and thus deteriorates the quality of education. The study recommended that the programmes for expanding education access should consider the control of quality education over the quantity parameters so as to enhance the effective provision of education that promote people's welfare.
