Background
The Wezesha Binti program targets young people
(14 to 29 years), especially girls and young women, in selected
districts of the Kigoma region in Tanzania. They are empowered through
multiple conducive learning pathways to enjoy decent, greener employment
and increased access to entrepreneurship. One of these learning
pathways is the delivery of quality secondary education. The Kigoma
region is one of the most underserved regions and faces substantial
challenges in transition, retention, and completion in secondary
education (MoEST, 20231).
To help “nudge” the needed digital
transformation in the Kigoma schools and communities, more youth will be
enabled to access ICT in schools. This can be achieved by investing in
teachers, their Continuous Professional Development (CPD), didactic
materials and tools, and by creating opportunities for students to
access a wider variety of online learning materials. Collaboration with
various implementing partners is essential to enhance the quality of
teaching in secondary education. These partners include the Tanzania
Institute of Education (TIE), Kasulu Teachers Training College,
Regional/District Education Offices, and other NGOs. Their expertise,
resources, and support will significantly contribute to improving
teaching practices.
