This study aimed to investigate the factors limiting the engagement of school committees in the development plans of primary schools in Simanjiro District, Manyara Region. Despite the crucial role of school committees in educational planning and development, their involvement often falls short of expectations. Through a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from a sample of 146 respondents, including head teachers, teachers, the District Education Officer (DEO), school committee members and school committee chairpersons. The findings reveal that limited engagement is influenced by factors such as inadequate training, insufficient resources and lack of awareness of roles and responsibilities including minimal support from educational authorities. These constraints hinder the effectiveness of school committees in contributing to school development plans. The study This study recommends strengthening the training, providing adequate resources and increasing support from educational authorities to enhance the engagement and effectiveness of school committees in primary school development plans.
