Teacher incentives boost 3Rs performance
DODOMA: The Learning Project, which provides incentives and bonuses to teachers of Grades One to Three to strengthen pupils’ skills in Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic (the “3Rs”) in 265 primary schools across the country, has positively impacted the education sector, leading to improved performance in the Grade Four National Examinations in public schools under the initiative.
The project, implemented by Twaweza in collaboration with the LearnImpact Institute, provides motivation and bonuses to teachers of the lower primary classes, and has improved performance among students participating in the program.
Speaking about the project in Dodoma on Tuesday, the Head Teacher of Dodoma-Makulu Primary School, Amon Sebyiga, said the initiative has boosted understanding among pupils in Grades One to Three, and their performance has improved.
“In the Grade Four examination in 2024, out of 248 pupils, only 16 failed. Last year (2025), out of 247 pupils, only six failed,” said Sebyiga.

On his part, Ward Education Officer for Dodoma Makulu, Yasin Mponda, said the Kiufunza project, which helps accelerate children’s learning in reading, writing, and arithmetic by motivating teachers, has produced positive results by increasing both performance and understanding.
A teacher at Dodoma Makulu Primary School, Bether Majengo, said that giving teachers incentives and bonuses to winners has increased their enthusiasm for teaching children through songs and games, helping students understand better and perform well.
Students of Dodoma Makulu Primary School who studied under the project, Leila Msangi and Marther Rajabu, said at different times that the project helped them learn to read, write, and count diligently because their teachers were highly committed and motivated to teaching.
Michael Kamkulu, the executive director of the LearnImpact Institute, which funds the project, said the initiative is being implemented in 265 schools across 10 regions of the country, with Dodoma serving as a pilot area where incentives and bonuses are being tested in five schools.
Kamakulu said the project runs for three years, and after conducting an evaluation, they found that schools participating in the project recorded a 20 percent increase in performance compared to those not in the programme.
“This project provides incentives to teachers and bonuses to schools whose students perform best after competitions are held to identify top-performing schools and teachers,” he said.
Kamakulu called on the government, policymakers, and other stakeholders to support efforts to provide incentives to teachers teaching Grades One to Three, in order to build a strong foundation for students in reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Recently, President Samia Suluhu Hassan launched Scientific Strategic Framework for Foundational Reading, Writing and Arithmetic (3Rs) which sets a new direction for early childhood and primary education in Tanzania.
Launching the framework, the Head of State called for called for tangible learning outcomes in children rather than paperwork, insisting: “The changes must be seen in children, not in written reports,”
While the government expects ‘big results’ from the newly launched 3Rs framework, Twaweza, through its Learning Project, proposes that provision of incentives and bonuses to teachers can be ‘the way to go’ after tested it in various primary schools across the country.
