Preface

The President’s Office-Regional Administration and Local Government

(PO-RALG) manages Pre-Primary, Primary and Secondary Education in

Tanzania Mainland with the duty of ensuring that all schools are well

managed and provide quality education. This requires adequate and

equitable of teachers, physical facilities and school materials. To do

this we need to have education management information especially up

to date education data that will enable us assesses school needs and

monitor performance. The data will also enable us and education

stakeholders to carry out education planning and research necessary

for improving the education system.

In order to have adequate education data, PO-RALG effective from

2013, embarked on annual preparation of statistics booklet containing

pre-primary, primary, secondary and adult and non formal education.

This will enable us monitor regional and council differentials in

performance and inputs and hence take appropriate measures to

harmonize and improve them. Most data is collected directly from

schools while the rest is obtained from other relevant institutions such

as The National Examinations Council of Tanzania, The National Bureau

of Statistics and Ministry of Finance.

The booklets have information on student enrolment, teachers,

education facilities, examination results, school inspection and

education finance. PO-RALG believes these booklets will be useful to

all stakeholders who have interest in the development of our

education system.

PO-RALG acknowledges the stakeholders from Goverment Institutions,

Private Sectors and Development Partners for their contributions

made for this publication. The special acknowledgement is given to

Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MOEST), National

Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Tanzania Education Authority (TEA) and

UNESCO for their assistance and cooperation.

For further improvement of this booklet, the PO-RALG welcomes

views from our data users and all education stakeholders so as to

further enrich this publication. This publication can also be obtained

from the ministry’s website http://www.tamisemi.go.tz/BEMIS DATA.

System and Structure of Education and Training

The Education and Training Policy of 1995 stipulated the structure of the

formal education and training system in Tanzania as 2 – 7 – 4 – 2 - 3+, that is;

2 years of pre-primary education (year 1 and 2); 7 years of primary education

(Standard I-VII); 4 years of secondary ordinary level education (Form 1- 4); 2

years of secondary advanced level education (Form 5 and 6) and 3 or more

years of higher education.

However, according to the Education and Training Policy of 2014 the

structure of the formal education and training system in Tanzania is 1 – 10 – 2

- 3+, that is; 1 years of compulsory pre-primary education; 10 years of

compulsory Basic education (6 years Standard I-VI and 4 years of lower

secondary); 2 years of secondary advanced level education (Form 5 and 6)

and 3 or more years of higher education. The official school attending age is 5

year for pre-primary, 6 – 15 years for basic education, 16-17 years for upper

secondary and 18 – 21 years for higher education.

MethodologyData presented in this publication is that of education levels and categories

under the jurisdiction of PO-RALG. These include pre-primary, primary,

secondary, adult and non-formal education. Education data is collected

through annual census of education institutions using questionnaires

designed specifically for the purpose. Data on Pre-Primary, Primary,

Secondary and Adult &Non formal education are collected through

questionnaires sent to schools/centres to be filled from school/centre records

and returned to councils for data entry and processing. Data on Population is

obtained from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) while that on

examinations is obtained from the National Examination Council of Tanzania

(NECTA).

2.0 PRIMARY EDUCATION

According to the Education and Training Policy 2014

(ETP 2014), Primary Education is a six years

education cycle after one year of Pre-Primary

Education. It is universal, compulsory and free to all

children aged 6 to 12 years old.

The Primary School cycle begins with standard one

(STD I), on entry, and ends with standard six (STD

VI) in the final year of the cycle.

Currently, Primary Education Subsector has been

administered by implementing both ETPs (1995 and

2014) during the transition period to fully adaption of

ETP (2014). The ETP (1995) was a seven years

education cycle after Pre-Primary. It was also

universal and compulsory to all children aged 7 to 13

years old.

The enrolment of Non-Tanzanians Pupils in Primary Education has been decreasing from

34,457 in 2013 to 3104 in 2016. This is due to Political stability in the respective countries

specifically Burundi and newly naturalized Tanzanians (formerly Burundian Refugees).

% of New Entrants

with Pre-Primary Ed.

About 54.8% of new entrants enrolled in STD I in 2016 had Pre-primary Education. However, according to ETP

(2014) pupils aged 5-6 year-olds should have Pre-Primary Education before they are admitted to STD I. This

implies that sensitization on importance of Pre-primary education as the base for Primary education is required.

Enrolment capacity of Pre-primary schools/streams also need to be enhanced.

Note: The proportion of Std I enrolment with age below 7 years was decreased to 4.0% in 2014 from 14.6% in 2011. This was due to

increasingly parental awareness and implementation of government directives of the entrants age to Std I of 6 years as per ETP

(2014). Through an implementation of new ETP (2014), the new entrants age to Std 1 of age below 7 years has increased the

proportion from 4.0% in 2014 to 17.0% in 2016.

Note: While Sustainable Development Goals-4 call for not leaving any one behind regarding education provision, there is 14.2%

or 1,313,204 pupils of school age population (7-13) who are not at school. More sensitization to community to enrol pupils

to schools is needed. Apart from providing free and compulsory basic education, some interventions such as providing

school meals need to be introduced so as to attract more pupils to schools especially from poor families.

Note: In year 2016, the number of repeaters is much higher in lower grades compared to higher grades

due to incompetency in 3Rs. However, the number of repeaters in grade VI is higher than grade V

across year 2011 to year 2016 except year 2013; this could be caused by lack of readiness to

seat for Primary School Leaving Examination.

dropout is highest in STD III (15.3%) and STD VI (21.2%) in 2015. While highest dropout in STD

III might be attributed by STD IV National exams, the independent study should be undertaken to

identify the root cause of highest dropout in STD VI as there is no National exams at this grade.

cycles. The first cycle is a four year programme of Ordinary

Level (O-Level) secondary education. The second cycle is a

two year programme of Advanced Level (A-Level) secondary

education.

The O-Level secondary education cycle begins with Form 1

and ends with Form 4 whereby Form 1 selection and

schools is subject to the performance in National Primary

School Leaving Examination (PSLE). The A-Level secondary

education has Form 5 and 6. The Selection and enrollment in

A-Level for Government and Non- Government secondary

education is based on prescribed performance level in the

relevant A-Level subject combinations after attainment of

appropriate credits in the Certificate of Secondary Education

Examination (CSEE).

Form 4 and Form 6 examinations mark completion of

secondary education cycles and the results of these

examinations are used for and selection of students for

further formal education and training.

Total enrolment in Form 1-6 has increased by 1.8% from 1,774,383 pupils in 2015 to 1,806,955 pupils in 2016. The

increase is the results of great efforts made by the Government to expand secondary education in the past ten years by

enabling all primary school leavers who pass the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) attend secondary

education. Private participation in the provision of education has been more noticiable at secondary education. While

Government contributes 81.3% of the total enrolment, Non-Government contributes 18.7%.
