IQMS was currently used as a mechanism to assess teacher performance. The result from the IQMS processes was used as a basis to determine teacher development needs, as well as forming a basis for the payment of incentives e.g. salary progression. Unfortunately, the implementation of IQMS had not brought about a significant improvement in the quality of teaching and learning in the majority of schools. This was due to lack of proper preparation by the system to implement and a lack of accountability from the school management.
