Almost the performance of O-level Government secondary schools is very poor compared to private schools.

What do you think are the factors leading to such perfomance?

The main causes for the mass failure of most form four students in their NECTA Exams are as below identified:

1.Lack of School Fees

Most of the Govenment o-level schools for Tanzania pays 20,000/= approximately to about $12 a year.

Most of them do not afford to pay for the school fees allocated by the Govenrment.The act of the school management to suspend them to home by giving reason that these students has not paid a school fees demoralise the capacity for them to acquire better education.

2.Teachers problem.

Many schools in Tanzania have very few teachers compared to the number of studends they teach.Having that known,a school can have only two teachers or even one.Some times teachers do not teach by giving reasons that the salary is small compared to the work they do,

FATAKI-Is a behavior for some of the teachers to have sexal relation ship with the students they are teaching.This retards the progress of the education level in Tanzania.Most of the girls whose have relationship with the teachers proud by saying that, once they finish their studies they will be married by these teachers and there is no need for them to study hard.

Temporary teachers are not respected for their work they do.You can found a form six leaver has a great ability to teach than a on a employed by the Govenment,but the problem arrising when these teacher doing their work,they are not trusted but rather ignoring all the projects and tactics they employ to bring changes in educational category.

3.Lerning materials.

This include lack of charks,electricity,Teaching aids materials,tables, Classrooms,books and  poor

environment of learning.

4.Other reasons may be: students studying with hungry, no care for the children,no treatment and general preparation to send children to school.

In my view these may be some of the reasons............

  1.geographical inequality

     most school performing well are those found in urban areas whereby the provision of social service will accomodate teachers and workers +student themselves.

  2.infrastructure and working environment

marginalized schools have fewer and sometimes no supportive infrastructure for carrying out school activities while on the other hand the working environment are not condusive to new employee.

3. curiculum

is kind of education given to our pupils fit for our environment? I am not so sure.Take these three scenario i)education soon after independence ii)education during 70's and 80's iii)education during the last two decades...........could you note something?enrollment rate,drop out rate,completion rate,pass rate and marks.........

4.Priorities

are meeting MDGs alone enough?rise in enrollment enough?how is the drop out rate?MMEM and MMES yes.....can we bridge the gap between the lower education and higher education?can we accomodate all at higher educations......we need to address these and many more at this juncture.

what are relationship between poor educational amagement and mass failure of form four students in tanzania

     Moja ya maswala ya msingi yanayo sababisha wanafunzi wengi kufeli kidaato cha  IV ni;-

     SIASA kuingilia mfumo wa elimu.Ambao viongozi wanataka sifa ya kuingiza wanafunzi wengi wasio na sifa badala ya kuzingatia ufaulu wao.Mfano wanathubutu hata kushusha alama za za kufaulu ili tu ionekane eti ni kiongozi bora kumbe hora.

      Sababu ya pili ni serikali kutojali mchango wa walimu katika suala zima la elimu,kuna halmashauri ambazo walimu walisha GOMA siku nyingi kwa kutosikilizwa na kupatiwa haki na stahili zao.mfano mwalimu hajapandishwa cheo kwa miaka zaidi ya 7 au halipwi madai yake ya msingi.Hata kama ni wewe huwezi kufanya kazi kwa moyo katika hali hiyo.

sababu kubwa ni ukosefu wa vifaa vya kufundishia,motisha kwa walimu,mazingira,njaa kwa wanafunzi na mengine mengi.

The main problem here, is that teachers are not well motivated and well empowered, considering other factor constant.

well those are problems associated with tthe mass failure no way we got to stop lying to ourslves

students are not serious with school and they lack motivation  from the learned society

well if you say lack of fees there students who pay more than that and mind you the fee is a parental problem not student

if you say that teachers are not well paid what about the private school teacher?????????????common people open your eyes

were much looking and considering the poor performance in school to our Tanzanian students by only observing those students who are being given full support from parents and relati, how do we comment on those students who are getting different supports from private supports and NGOs, how too comes to have poor permance?

@Maurus (DODOMA): stop talking non-sense in public, try to review what you think before publishing

In which manners do teachers contribute to mass failure of Tanzanian secondary students within past three years?
