Assistant Administrative Secretary for Education and Vocational Training, Mr Vincent Kayombo, noted that the region also excelled in the National Standard Four Assessment, securing third place nationally with a 94.6 per cent pass rate.

Speaking at a recent training session for English and Mathematics teachers in Kondoa District, Mr Kayombo em phasised the need for further improvement despite the region’s strong performance.
“Through our assessment, we identified challenges, particularly in English and Mathematics. I commend the Shule Bora project for organising this training to address these gaps,” he said.
He urged teachers to take full advantage of the training, highlighting its benefits for their schools and the region at large.
He also directed District Education Officers to ensure that participating teachers share their newly acquired skills with colleagues.
“I have great confidence in our education officers. Their dedication will yield positive outcomes in this year’s national exams,” he added.
The Shule Bora project, launched in 2021 and running until 2027, is being implemented in nine regions—Dodoma, Mara, Pwani, Katavi, Tanga, Simiyu, Rukwa, Kigoma and Singida—with support from the UK government through UK Aid.
