Ubungo DC: New facilities to improve learning at Mbezi School

DAR ES SALAAM: Ubungo District Commissioner Albert Msando has said that the provision of 90 desks, 30 computers and other learning facilities at Mbezi Primary and Vocational School will improve pupils’ learning conditions and strengthen teachers’ ability to deliver quality education.

He said the facilities would directly benefit pupils by providing them with better and safer seating arrangements while creating a more conducive environment for teaching and learning.

Speaking during the handover of the equipment, Mr Msando said the school had received 90 desks, 30 computers, 30 Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units, one television set and other equipment for improving the Teachers’ Resource Centre (TRC).

He said the support would also enable teachers to access improved learning resources and enhance their professional skills, ultimately benefiting pupils through improved teaching.

Mr Msando stressed the importance of properly maintaining the donated facilities to ensure they serve their intended purpose and provide long-term benefits to the school community.

On her part, Vodacom Tanzania Foundation Manager Sandra Oswald said the support was part of a partnership with the Tanzania Institute of Education (TIE) and the President’s Office – Regional Administration and Local Government (TAMISEMI) aimed at improving teachers’ access to professional development.
