Transforming Tanzanian schools with Technology

Many of the schools we work with have been using Shule Direct for a long time.  They particularly like the fact that their materials are designed specifically for the Tanzanian curriculum. Students greatly enjoy the quizzes, and teachers like that they can download past papers easily and access summary notes for revision.  This is particularly useful for the many teachers who have to teach outside their specialist area.

In many schools there are no maths or science teachers. Instead, where they can afford it the community bands together and pays local school leavers to take on this role. As they are only one year older than their pupils, and have no training and often few resources this is a very challenging job.  Access to resources like Shule Direct and Khan Academy is then very useful, even if teachers are only able to access it on their phones. 

But many schools do not have good enough connectivity to access resources online. Therefore, from your generous donations we have been able to purchase licences for Shule Direct offline use, as well as three projectors to enable whole classes to be able to access these resources at once, in the schools where they have a good enough electricity supply to run them, and a teacher's laptop to connect them to.

We hope to expand this provision more widely in the future.

Thank you again for your support.
