Arusha City Council Education Officer Anthony Mushi said the government still has a long way to go to ensure it participates with private educational institutions, in providing opportunities for young people to study science. Speaking yesterday in Arusha at an exhibition of science, technology, and mathematics, Mushi said in order to enable young people to enjoy the lessons it is important for parents and guardians to ensure that their children learn science lessons at an early age. and they ran their lives, without relying on the government or the individual to hire them. He said despite the institution providing cooperation to the government, many government schools still conduct ICT examinations, few and no more than five in the city, and even the existing ones are facing a shortage of resources and readiness for students and teachers to learn.

 

A project facilitator at e3 Empower Africa, George Mushi said the exhibition was aimed at providing science education and inspiring students to love the subjects. "We are talking about employment challenges, but if our young people are studying ICT, there are some things they can do to make the importance of science education in school.  Young science students from school and college will inspire and become good ambassadors for their peers,” He said. He said e3 Empower Africa is an institution dedicated to providing technology education to young people in the community and that it has already reached many young people, especially primary, secondary and tertiary students and those who did not have the opportunity to study.

 

He mentioned some of the things they teach them how to make and employ jobs, including how to make fire alarms, websites, and telephone systems. The theory makes students unaware of how to apply the knowledge, unlike when they are taught in action it builds them intellectually.

 Director of e3 Empower Africa, Ji Young Yoon Rhee said the aim of providing such education to Tanzanian children is to promote science and technology for students and they have already provided the program at Arusha Girls Secondary School. The three-year program, funded by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) through the e3 Empower project, will be completed by 2023, aiming to reach many schools in Arusha Region.
