Kiwia Sixtus F.N /

This paper reviews, the personnel management function in the Tanzanian education system. Recruiment and selection, staff training and development, appraisal and promotion, compensation, transfers and terminations are major components that have been analysed. These are undertaken centrally at ministerial level. As a result teachers have been made to feel more accountable to ministry officials rather than their headteachers.The Training needs of teachers are also determined centrally, as a resulty not much of teachers needs we addressed. Hence the unmprecedented teachers' exodus.
