Welcome to CORE Tanzania
If you're a new visitor to CORE Tanzania, you may want to begin here to get an overview of our organization that includes an update on recent progress with our Twegashe Primary School project.
Teaching Reading in Tanzania
Teaching students in Tanzania to read in English is challenging. English is quite different in structure and pronunciation from Kiswahili and local languages, teaching programs don't prepare teachers to teach in English, and students are learning to read with a very limited vocabulary. Twegashe students are succeeding despite these difficulties, but a new, donated reading curriculum will be a big help.
August 2021 Update
There are many fun and exciting things happening at Twegashe School as we begin the second semester of our second year of operation. We have a new teacher, a new goat project, new cafeteria tables, new solar power at the teacher's houses, new training for our teachers...And this is not new, but there are also lots and lots of smiles!
