Achievements

The Education Progress Initiatives in Tanzania have achieved remarkable success with the implementation of the hub project at Kisimani Primary School. The project focused on training and mentoring 40 teachers, setting goals, giving feedback, and providing training in behavior management, group work, valuing a child, and teaching for thinking. The impact of this initiative was profound, with over 1200 students benefiting from a more engaging and effective learning experience.
The training provided to the teachers under the hub project was specifically tailored to address the unique needs of the students at Kisimani Primary School. By focusing on behavior management, the teachers were better equipped to create a more conducive learning environment that fostered academic excellence. The training in group work helped to promote collaboration and teamwork among students, while valuing a child encouraged teachers to treat each student as an individual, with unique needs and talents.
Perhaps the most significant impact of the hub project was the training in teaching for thinking. This training enabled teachers to help students develop critical thinking skills and the ability to apply what they had learned in practical ways. As a result, students were better equipped to face the challenges of the future and contribute meaningfully to society.
The impact of the hub project was evident in the results of the standard seven exams, where Kisimani Primary School led in the district and region. This achievement is a testament to the dedication of the teachers and the effectiveness of the ALET project. The success of this initiative has created a more conducive learning environment and has helped to foster a culture of academic excellence at Kisimani Primary School.
