50m/- lab project to boost performance in science subjects

DODOMA: TEACHERS and students at Kiwanja cha Ndege Secondary School in Dodoma region anticipate a significant improvement in science subject performance with the ongoing construction of a modern laboratory.

The new lab, a development initiative under President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s administration, is projected to cost 50m/- upon completion.

Speaking on behalf of the students, the school’s academic teacher Noel Joseph praised the government for supporting the lab construction. He said the school previously had no lab, making it difficult for teachers and students to effectively teach and learn science subjects.

“The lack of a functional lab meant most students and teachers missed out on practical science learning due to a lack of proper facilities,” he said.

“We are very grateful to the government for providing 50m/- for this lab, which now enables students to engage in hands-on science learning.” Joseph added that the school’s academic performance has significantly improved; now reaching 90 per cent pass rates, thanks to the new infrastructure.
