Tanzania is currently undertaking ambitious reforms to transform learning through competency-based education. The government recently signed a six-year memorandum of understanding establishing Educate! as technical advisers on the new secondary school subject of Business Studies, which is expected to be a core required subject for all three million youth in lower secondary.

Initially launched in Rwanda in 2016, Educate!’s approach to co-designing an employment-focused subject in secondary school is going national. Building on a strong policy foundation, our intensive two-year teacher training model is now reaching every secondary school across the country. In close partnership with the government, this approach will deliver education that builds practical skills, reflects the labor market and represents meaningful systems change.
