This research aims to identify the opinions of education stakeholders (teachers, heads of schools, and education officers) on the role of School Quality Assurance (SQA) practices in facilitating curriculum implementation in secondary schools in the Morogoro Region of Tanzania. The study employed a qualitative approach, utilizing a single case study design. The sampling procedures included 13 participants selected through purposive sampling from schools, heads of schools, and district education officers, and convenience sampling for teachers. Data were collected through interviews and analyzed using thematic data analysis. The findings focused on three main themes: SQA practices as motivation in curriculum implementation in secondary schools, SQA practices in leadership and management, and the approaches used by SQAOs to collaborate with teachers in facilitating curriculum implementation. The study suggests that comprehensive studies are needed to understand the impact of the school quality assurance system on curriculum implementation in secondary schools. Additionally, further research is needed to explore different approaches used by educational leaders in schools.
