EXCUTIVE SUMMARY.
NIPAA had
meetings/Research with five wards secondary schools and his /
her school committee at their schools
such as Mdandamo Secondary School, Subira Secondary School, Zimanimoto
Secondary School, Mbulani Secondary School and Luwawas Secondary School October
2011to gain Some more information about
their schools Problems.
I was given warm welcome and they
explained the whole situation to me. With a short input by some of the students
as well.I Made it clear that I was not involve in the decision making, but just
on a fact finding mission
PROBLEMS
BACK GROUND
The schools
mentioned above is the ward Secondary
Schools built in Songea municipal by self participatory of the villagers in
early 2006, The government of Tanzania had initiated the motive of building
secondary school in all wards of the making mud bricks and burning them. The
essence behind this motive is that the great numbers of students who passed the
standard seven examination in primary school could not proceed with studies due
to insufficient of secondary school.
However I
its implementation, it has been found that the schools are lacking of text
books, science equipments, desks, electricity, Teachers of science departments,
classrooms,administration blocks, teachers
houses water library hostel if
plan make them a boarding schools materialize.
These are lead to less concentration in their lessons
students as they become not pass to their last examination of form four
I was shown
the bricks for construction of laboratory and hostel for Mdandamo secondary
school 60,000 and Mbulani Secondary School was 20,000.
My Impression was that the schools leaders are
positive and forward thinking and do a lot from their own resources.
I saw a new
classroom in the process of being build, but their needs are great as above
started.

STAPS TAKEN
NIPAA after observation and talks with the schools committee
it is under these circumstance we identified the problem and what we are now
adoing is to find a solution to that problems.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Laboratory
is a great importance in the secondary education so as enable the school fully to meet the requirements of ministry of
education for ‘o’ level and ‘A ‘ level
science subjects and in giving them the qualifications for university entry and
enhanced employment opportunities.
Hostel is
more basic need but no less important .
The students are used to walk daily, covering the maximum distances of 13km
from their homes to and back the school. This lead to less concentration in
their lessons. Students as they become tired for long walking .
Books are the
major factor for education in the world but the education is the source of
community development in the world.
