A New National Curriculum for Tanzania

Tanzania's new national curriculum, rolled out in 2024, describes a more student-centered approach to education, in much closer alignment with what we have been doing at Twegashe School all along. Some other major changes have been introduced, the most significant being that after 2027, there will be no more grade seven in primary school.

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.
