About the programme
From knowing to doing
Exams reward what learners know. Life rewards what they can do with it. This programme turns classroom knowledge into practical skills through challenges rooted in learners' own schools and communities.
Learners work in teams, take on leadership roles, present their ideas and reflect on what they learned. It supports the communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking at the heart of Tanzania's 2023 education policy reforms.
