Abstract

This study aims to ascertain how the Education Monitoring Authority (EMA) is performing in ensuring the regularity of teaching and non-teaching staff of government primary schools in district Charsadda. The study was quantitative in nature, and data was gathered using a survey research technique. The study's participants are the headteachers of government primary schools for boys in Charsadda. A sample of 224 out of 483 headteachers from government sector primary schools was chosen for data collection through simple random sampling technique. Respondents received Likert scale questionnaires online through a link to a Google form.  The data was analyzed using both inferential statistics (linear regression) and descriptive statistics (percentages and frequencies). The results indicated that the EMA has significantly contributed to enhancing the regularity of school personnel, decreasing the absenteeism, and reporting the proxy personnel in government primary schools in the district Charsadda. Based on the findings, it is recommended to sustain and expand the Education Monitoring Authority’s oversight to further reduce absenteeism and ensure staff regularity in primary schools.
