FOREWORDThe Government of the United Republic of <strong>Tanzania</strong> has been implementing the PrimaryEduc<strong>at</strong>ion Development Programme (PEDP I and II) aimed <strong>at</strong> achieving Universal PrimaryEduc<strong>at</strong>ion (UPE) since 2002This programme is an effort to transl<strong>at</strong>e <strong>Tanzania</strong> DevelopmentVision 2025; the Educ<strong>at</strong>ion and Training Policy (1995); the N<strong>at</strong>ional Str<strong>at</strong>egy for Growth andReduction of Poverty (NSGRP); the Educ<strong>at</strong>ion Sector Development Programme (ESDP),together with the Educ<strong>at</strong>ion for All (EFA 2000) Goals and Millennium Development Goals(MDGs) into feasible str<strong>at</strong>egies and actions for the development of pre-primary and primaryeduc<strong>at</strong>ion.The achievements recorded during the implement<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP I and II are impressive. The GERand NER for primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion increased from 84% and 65.5% in 2001 to 102.7% and 94.0% in2011 respectively; the number of primary schools increased from 11,873 in 2001 to 16,001 in2011; the transition r<strong>at</strong>e from primary to secondary school increased from 22.4% in 2001 to53.6% in 2011. The number of qualified teachers also increased from 52,658 in 2001 to 169,233in 2011. Furthermore, s<strong>at</strong>isfactory performance <strong>wa</strong>s achieved in arresting pupil repetition r<strong>at</strong>e,addressing teacher incentives and implementing measures to tackle cross-cutting issues. Theseare but only a few achievement indic<strong>at</strong>ors.Despite these achievements, there were challenges th<strong>at</strong> constrained the <strong>at</strong>tainment of objectivesand targets planned in PEDP I and II. For example, the financial gaps were high such th<strong>at</strong> theyneg<strong>at</strong>ively affected the achievement of targets set. The rehabilit<strong>at</strong>ion of the existing classroomsand construction of new ones could not reach the target of Classroom-Pupil R<strong>at</strong>io (CPR) of 1:40from the current 1:66 (2011), due to financial constraints. The shortage of desks is still high.There is a shortage of about 1,836,000 desks which represents approxim<strong>at</strong>ely 49.1% of therequirements.


Based on the lessons learnt from PEDP I (2002-2006), and its successor PEDP II (2007-2011);and in line with the N<strong>at</strong>ional Five Year Development Plan (2011/12-2015/16) str<strong>at</strong>egic priorities;PEDP III seeks to raise competencies, increase particip<strong>at</strong>ion and completion, and preparechildren for life in a multicultural society. In an ever-changing economic, social, political,technological and work environment, children will require a wide range of skills. The focus is onachieving excellence - academically, voc<strong>at</strong>ionally, economically and socially.PEDP III has six areas of focus. These are: (1) Access and Equity; (2) Quality Improvement; (3)Capacity in Governance and Management; (4) Cross-cutting Issues; (5) Research, Monitoringand Evalu<strong>at</strong>ion; and (6) Institutional Arrangement.This programme has been prepared by the Government in collabor<strong>at</strong>ion with DevelopmentPartners and Non-St<strong>at</strong>e Actors through stakeholders’ workshops; joint working sessions andESDC consult<strong>at</strong>ive meetings.The success of PEDP III will depend significantly on the full particip<strong>at</strong>ion of all stakeholders.Every pupil, parent, teacher, school manager, community, respective council and centralGovernment official will need to play a part. In addition the priv<strong>at</strong>e sector, Civil SocietyOrganis<strong>at</strong>ions (CSOs) and Development Partners are called upon to support <strong>this</strong> plan and toensure th<strong>at</strong> all their activities and oper<strong>at</strong>ions are fully aligned with the str<strong>at</strong>egies outlined in <strong>this</strong>document. Looking for<strong>wa</strong>rd to a concerted commitment. It can be doneHon. Dr. Shukuru Jumanne Ka<strong>wa</strong>mb<strong>wa</strong> (MP)MINISTER, MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING


CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION1.1 <strong>Tanzania</strong> - An Overview<strong>Tanzania</strong> is loc<strong>at</strong>ed between l<strong>at</strong>itude 1 o Sto 12 o S and longitude 29 o W and 41 o Ewith a total area of about 947,300 sq km(land: 885,800 sq km and w<strong>at</strong>er: 61,500 sqkm). The country is bordering eightcountries namely; Burundi, the Democr<strong>at</strong>icRepublic of the Congo (DRC) and R<strong>wa</strong>nd<strong>at</strong>o the West;, Kenya and Uganda to theNorth; Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambi<strong>at</strong>o the South and; the Indian ocean to theEast. <strong>Tanzania</strong>’s coastline is estim<strong>at</strong>ed tobe 1,424 km long. In addition <strong>Tanzania</strong>has the highest mountain in Africa namelyFigure 1: : Map of <strong>Tanzania</strong>Mt. Kilimanjaro, whose peak is about5,895 metres above sea level. <strong>Tanzania</strong> isalso endowed with three of the largestlakes in Africa namely; Lake Victoria(which is also the world's second-largestfreshw<strong>at</strong>er lake) in the north, LakeTanganyika (which is the world's seconddeepest) in the west, and Lake Nyasa inthe southwest.


Table 1.1: Popul<strong>at</strong>ion Profile of <strong>Tanzania</strong>Total 42,746,620 (July 2011 Estim<strong>at</strong>es) This table indic<strong>at</strong>es th<strong>at</strong> <strong>Tanzania</strong> hasPopul<strong>at</strong>ion 42% (9,003,152 male; 8,949,061 a high proportion of young people. –0-14 years female)It is estim<strong>at</strong>ed th<strong>at</strong> 50% of the15-64 years 55.1% (11,633,721 male; 11,913,951 popul<strong>at</strong>ion is under-18 years of age.65+female)The popul<strong>at</strong>ion growth r<strong>at</strong>e of2.9% (538,290 male; 708,445 female) <strong>Tanzania</strong>, according to the 2002census, <strong>wa</strong>s calcul<strong>at</strong>ed to be 2.9%. InJuly 2011, the birth r<strong>at</strong>e <strong>wa</strong>s estim<strong>at</strong>ed <strong>at</strong> 33 births per 1,000 while the de<strong>at</strong>h r<strong>at</strong>e <strong>wa</strong>s 12 de<strong>at</strong>hsper 1,000. Approxim<strong>at</strong>ely 26% of total popul<strong>at</strong>ion (2010) live in urban areas. The annual changer<strong>at</strong>e of urbanis<strong>at</strong>ion is estim<strong>at</strong>ed <strong>at</strong> 4.7% (2010-15 estim<strong>at</strong>es). Life expectancy <strong>at</strong> birth <strong>wa</strong>s 51.34years for males and 54.42 years for females. The m<strong>at</strong>ernal mortality r<strong>at</strong>e <strong>wa</strong>s 430 de<strong>at</strong>hs per100,000 live births (2010). Total fertility r<strong>at</strong>e <strong>wa</strong>s 4.2 children born per woman. According to the2002 Census, the literacy r<strong>at</strong>e <strong>wa</strong>s 77.5% for males and 62.2% for females.The common language is Kis<strong>wa</strong>hili which is the N<strong>at</strong>ional language, and the lingua franca ofCentral and Eastern African countries. There are also over 120 tribal languages spoken in<strong>Tanzania</strong>.1.2 An Overview of the Structure of Educ<strong>at</strong>ionThe <strong>Tanzania</strong>n educ<strong>at</strong>ion system consists of 2 years of pre-primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion (5-6 years), 7 yearsof primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion (7 -13 years), 4 years of Ordinary Level Secondary Educ<strong>at</strong>ion (14-17years), 2 years of Advanced Level Secondary Educ<strong>at</strong>ion (18- 19 years), and 3 or more years ofhigher level (university) educ<strong>at</strong>ion. Some students follow altern<strong>at</strong>ive routes to skills developmentoffered by Technical and Voc<strong>at</strong>ional Educ<strong>at</strong>ion and Training (TVET) institutions and FolkDevelopment Colleges.Primary Educ<strong>at</strong>ion is a right for all children in <strong>Tanzania</strong> and so is fee-free and compulsory. TheGovernment is the largest provider of both pre-primary (Year I & II) and primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion


(Standard I – VII) in <strong>Tanzania</strong> accounting for 95% and 97% of enrolment respectively in 2012.The Primary School Leaving Examin<strong>at</strong>ion (PSLE) marks the end of the primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion cycleand is used as the base for pupils to join the secondary educ<strong>at</strong>ion cycle.1.3 Structure of the PEDP III DocumentThe PEDP III document is organised into 4 main chapters. This Chapter provides an overview of<strong>Tanzania</strong> and its educ<strong>at</strong>ion system. Chapter two provides an overview and the context of thePEDP III and outlines the main objectives of the Programme while Chapter Three outlines themajor Programme components of the PEDP III including the Logical Framework. Chapter Fouroutlines the costing and financing framework.


CHAPTER TWO: OVERVIEW AND CONTEXT OF THE PRIMARY EDUCATIONDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME (PEDP III)2.0 Overarching Aim for Primary Educ<strong>at</strong>ionThe Educ<strong>at</strong>ion and Training Policy (1995) st<strong>at</strong>es th<strong>at</strong>, the major objective of pre-primary andprimary educ<strong>at</strong>ion is to lay the socio-cultural found<strong>at</strong>ions which ethically and morallycharacterise the <strong>Tanzania</strong>n citizen and the n<strong>at</strong>ion. It prepares every citizen to embark on anunending journey of lifelong learning, educ<strong>at</strong>ion and training. Primary school educ<strong>at</strong>ion isfundamental to the strengthening of higher levels of educ<strong>at</strong>ion, laying strong found<strong>at</strong>ions insocial, scientific and technological literacy and capacity and thus providing a means to selfrelianceand n<strong>at</strong>ional development.Amongst the aims of primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion is to:enable every child to acquire basic skills of literacy, communic<strong>at</strong>ion, numeracy and problemsolving as well as basic learning content of integr<strong>at</strong>ed relevant knowledge skills and <strong>at</strong>titudesneeded for survival and development to full capacity;provide the child with the found<strong>at</strong>ions leading to self – initi<strong>at</strong>ive, self-advancement and selfconfidence;prepare the child for second level educ<strong>at</strong>ion (secondary, voc<strong>at</strong>ional, technical and continuingeduc<strong>at</strong>ion) and;prepare the child for the world of work.Achievement of these aims will lead to the Government’s ambition of <strong>Tanzania</strong> reaching middleincome st<strong>at</strong>us by 2025.2.1 Impact of Primary Educ<strong>at</strong>ion on Broader Economic and Social GoalsEvidence on the economic and social impact of pre-primary and primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion is welldocumented and well known. Children who benefit from quality pre-primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion


programmes are more likely to <strong>at</strong>tend, stay on and do better in school. As adults they also tend tolead healthier lives and contribute more to their society.Thus, primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion remains one of the smartest investments a government can make inorder to build a strong found<strong>at</strong>ion for economic, social and human development. The 2011<strong>Tanzania</strong> Educ<strong>at</strong>ion Sector Analysis Report found th<strong>at</strong> primary level educ<strong>at</strong>ion has the gre<strong>at</strong>estimpact on social outcomes, contributing to almost 60% of the total impact of educ<strong>at</strong>ion on socialdevelopment. The social r<strong>at</strong>e of return to primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion is also high. For example with regardto girls’ educ<strong>at</strong>ion, it is noted, th<strong>at</strong> well educ<strong>at</strong>ed girls tend to get married l<strong>at</strong>er, have fewer andhealthier pregnancies and support their own children to be healthier and do well in school, thusenhancing the cycle of development.2.2 Alignment with Other Intern<strong>at</strong>ional and N<strong>at</strong>ional PoliciesPEDP III responds positively to intern<strong>at</strong>ional and n<strong>at</strong>ional goals contributing to global andn<strong>at</strong>ional efforts in economic development and poverty reduction. The existing developmentprogrammes and policies have gre<strong>at</strong> bearing on the implement<strong>at</strong>ion of educ<strong>at</strong>ion reforms. Thepolicy context under PEDP III builds on PEDP I and II. In all n<strong>at</strong>ional and intern<strong>at</strong>ionalprogrammes and policies, educ<strong>at</strong>ion is tre<strong>at</strong>ed as a top priority for achieving the intendedobjectives.On the intern<strong>at</strong>ional level, PEDP III is aligned with the Educ<strong>at</strong>ion for All (EFA) goals as well asthe Millennium Development Goals (MDG) which focus on universal primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion andgender parity in educ<strong>at</strong>ion. <strong>Tanzania</strong> is also a sign<strong>at</strong>ory to the United N<strong>at</strong>ions Convention on theRights of the Child and therefore PEDP III is striving to ensure th<strong>at</strong> there is equity and access toquality primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion for all children.At the n<strong>at</strong>ional level, the n<strong>at</strong>ional policy frameworks being addressed by PEDP III are the<strong>Tanzania</strong> Development Vision 2025, the N<strong>at</strong>ional Str<strong>at</strong>egy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty(NSGRP) popularly known as MKUKUTA in S<strong>wa</strong>hili, the Educ<strong>at</strong>ion and Training Policy (ETP1995) currently under review and the Educ<strong>at</strong>ion Sector Development Programme (ESDP 2008-


2017) - an umbrella educ<strong>at</strong>ion sector reform programme. A summary of these key n<strong>at</strong>ionaldocuments is as follows:2.2.1 The <strong>Tanzania</strong> Development Vision 2025Under the <strong>Tanzania</strong> Development Vision 2025, the educ<strong>at</strong>ion system is required to berestructured and transformed qualit<strong>at</strong>ively with a focus on promoting cre<strong>at</strong>ivity and problemsolving. In response to these requirements, the primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion curriculum <strong>wa</strong>s revised frombeing knowledge based to competency based. Under PEDP III these reforms will be consolid<strong>at</strong>ed.In response to Development Vision 2025, PEDP III aims <strong>at</strong> developing a highly liter<strong>at</strong>e<strong>Tanzania</strong>n primary school pupil, who will be highly knowledgeable and competent to cope withpolitical, social, cultural, economic and technological development challenges <strong>at</strong> n<strong>at</strong>ional andglobal levels.2.2.2 N<strong>at</strong>ional Str<strong>at</strong>egy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP)The Government introduced the N<strong>at</strong>ional Str<strong>at</strong>egy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty(NSGRP), known as Mkak<strong>at</strong>i <strong>wa</strong> Kukuza Uchumi na Kupunguza Umaskini <strong>Tanzania</strong>(MKUKUTA) in Kis<strong>wa</strong>hili, to address the aspir<strong>at</strong>ions of the <strong>Tanzania</strong> Development Vision 2025and adoption of the outcome approach which counts on the contribution of all sectors to<strong>wa</strong>rdsgrowth and poverty reduction. Thus, the implement<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP III will implement Cluster II(improvement of life and social well-being through educ<strong>at</strong>ion) hence contribute to povertyreduction in <strong>Tanzania</strong> through provision of equitable access to quality pre-primary and primaryeduc<strong>at</strong>ion.2.2.3 Educ<strong>at</strong>ion and Training Policy (ETP)The Educ<strong>at</strong>ion and Training Policy (ETP) formul<strong>at</strong>ed in 1995 will guide the functions/oper<strong>at</strong>ionsof the educ<strong>at</strong>ion system, particularly the provision of quality educ<strong>at</strong>ion and training in thecountry. The major objectives of <strong>this</strong> policy are to achieve increased enrolment, equitable access,quality improvement, expansion and optimum utiliz<strong>at</strong>ion of facilities, and oper<strong>at</strong>ional efficiencythroughout the educ<strong>at</strong>ion system. All those can be <strong>at</strong>tained through enhanced partnership in thedelivery of educ<strong>at</strong>ion, broadening the financial base and the cost effectiveness of educ<strong>at</strong>ion, and


streamlining educ<strong>at</strong>ion management structures through the devolution of authority to LocalGovernment Authorities (LGAs), communities and schools. The policy is being implementedthrough the Educ<strong>at</strong>ion Sector Development Programme (ESDP) th<strong>at</strong> <strong>wa</strong>s initi<strong>at</strong>ed in 1997 andrevised in 2001 and 2008 as a str<strong>at</strong>egy to<strong>wa</strong>rds a Sector-Wide Approach (SWAp) to educ<strong>at</strong>iondevelopment.In addition, PEDP III will impact on the achievements of other sub-sector programmes which fallunder the ESDP namely the Secondary Educ<strong>at</strong>ion Development Programme (SEDP), the FolkEduc<strong>at</strong>ion Development Programme (FEDP), the Technical and Voc<strong>at</strong>ional Educ<strong>at</strong>ion andTraining Development Programme (TVETDP) and the Higher Educ<strong>at</strong>ion DevelopmentProgramme (HEDP).Other n<strong>at</strong>ional policies and programmes taken into consider<strong>at</strong>ion during prepar<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP IIIare the Public Sector Reform Programme (PSRP), the Public Financial Management ReformProgramme (PFMRP), the Public Service Pay and Incentive Policy (PSPIP), the N<strong>at</strong>ionalInform<strong>at</strong>ion and Communic<strong>at</strong>ion Technology Policy, the Local Government Reform Programme(LGRP) and the Joint Assistance Str<strong>at</strong>egy in <strong>Tanzania</strong> (JAST). The following is a summary ofthese key n<strong>at</strong>ional documents.2.2.4 Public Service Reform Programme (PSRP)The purpose of the Public Service Reform Programme (PSRP) (2000 - 2011), is to ensure th<strong>at</strong>service delivery within priority sectors of the public service conform to public expect<strong>at</strong>ions fors<strong>at</strong>isfaction, relevance and value. In <strong>at</strong>taining th<strong>at</strong>, the programme developmental objectives arealigned to improve accountability, transparency and resource management for service delivery inthe public service. This will coincide with the main goal of the PEDP III, which is to increaseperformance and accountability of public institutions. In conformity to the PSRP, theimplement<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP III will involve capacity building in good governance and management.


2.2.5 Public Financial Management Reform Programme (PFMRP)The Public Financial Management Reform Programme (PFMRP, 2005) focuses on areas ofbudget and accounting, external resources management, procurement, investment managementand inform<strong>at</strong>ion technology. Under the reform, the Integr<strong>at</strong>ed Financial Management System(IFMS) is to be strengthened by <strong>link</strong>ing all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) andLGAs to track expenditure, disbursements and expenditure in real time.Since educ<strong>at</strong>ion transfers take into account school age popul<strong>at</strong>ion within the LGAs, theimplement<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP III will ensure the harmonized and equitable distribution of resourcesacross regions and LGAs. This will make all disbursements to LGAs more transparent,predictable and objective.2.2.6 The Public Service Pay and Incentive Policy (PSPIP, 2012/13-2016/17)The Government has developed the Public Service Pay and Incentive Policy (PSPIP, 2012/13-2016/17) as a result of the implement<strong>at</strong>ion of the Public Reform Programme (PRP). The mainfocus of the policy is to have an <strong>at</strong>tractive, transparent and appropri<strong>at</strong>e pay and incentive systemth<strong>at</strong> is expected to motiv<strong>at</strong>e and retain government staff, educ<strong>at</strong>ion personnel inclusive, as aprerequisite for a better performing public service. This policy, apart from dealing with issuesrel<strong>at</strong>ed to personal emolument, addresses broader issues th<strong>at</strong> c<strong>at</strong>er for a wide range of HumanResources Management. The policy further sets the c<strong>at</strong>alytic principle of equitable distribution ofpublic service employees, teachers inclusive, for improved service delivery across the countryespecially in difficult and hard-to-reach areas. PEDP III will conform to the PSPIPimplement<strong>at</strong>ion str<strong>at</strong>egy to provide incentives package to teachers in remote areas as a retentionstr<strong>at</strong>egy.2.2.7 N<strong>at</strong>ional Inform<strong>at</strong>ion and Communic<strong>at</strong>ions Technology Policy (2003)Advancement in the Inform<strong>at</strong>ion and Communic<strong>at</strong>ions Technology (ICT) has led to multipleconvergences of knowledge content, computing, telecommunic<strong>at</strong>ions and broadcasting. The


advancement has brought about changes in other areas, particularly in knowledge managementand human resource development which are central pillars in the educ<strong>at</strong>ion sector’s development.The increasing use of ICT has improved the <strong>wa</strong>y business is conducted, for example; facilit<strong>at</strong>inglearning and knowledge sharing, cre<strong>at</strong>ing a simplified global inform<strong>at</strong>ion flow, but has alsoempowered citizens and communities in <strong>wa</strong>ys th<strong>at</strong> redefine governance. In 2007, the MoEVTdeveloped an ICT sub-policy for Basic Educ<strong>at</strong>ion intended to guide the integr<strong>at</strong>ion of ICT inbasic educ<strong>at</strong>ion. It is expected th<strong>at</strong> PEDP III will also be guided by the ICT policy to improveteaching and learning in pre-primary and primary schools. The programme will also takeadvantage of the policy to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the management andadministr<strong>at</strong>ion of educ<strong>at</strong>ion and broaden the basis of educ<strong>at</strong>ion financing, while optimizing theuse of educ<strong>at</strong>ion resources, through partnerships and stakeholders particip<strong>at</strong>ion.2.2.8 Local Government Reform Programme (LGRP)The Local Government Reform Programme (LGRP, 2004) is intended to decentralise powers anddecision making to the LGAs focusing on improving performance in the process of deliveringquality social services. Through these reforms the LGAs are considered to be better placed foridentifying educ<strong>at</strong>ional needs and public service requirements by encouraging stakeholders’particip<strong>at</strong>ion, and thus complementing the initi<strong>at</strong>ives of the current PSRP. The LGRP is alsogeared to<strong>wa</strong>rds strengthening the capacities of staff through well-established structures of thelocal communities in order to enhance the planning, implement<strong>at</strong>ion, and monitoring andevalu<strong>at</strong>ion of the delivery of quality pre-primary and primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion through the principle ofDecentraliz<strong>at</strong>ion by Devolution (D by D). The Implement<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP III activities will beguided by D by D policy guidelines.2.2.9 The Joint Assistance Str<strong>at</strong>egy for <strong>Tanzania</strong> (JAST)The Joint Assistance Str<strong>at</strong>egy for <strong>Tanzania</strong> (JAST, 2006) is an agreed principle betweenGovernment and Development Partners to harmonize and align aid modalities so as to <strong>at</strong>tainincreased aid effectiveness, strengthened accountability and mutual trust and eventually a


educed donor dependency. The Government has been encouraging Development Partners tochannel their development assistance through General Budget Support (GBS) r<strong>at</strong>her than basketfunds and direct project support. However, the Government will continue to be flexible toaccommod<strong>at</strong>e assistance from Development Partners who have decided not to use the GBSfunding modality but who are interested to support educ<strong>at</strong>ion interventions. The main source ofPEDP III funding will be the Government and partners supporting <strong>Tanzania</strong>’s developmentagenda.2.3 Overview on the Impact of PEDP IIPEDP I (2002 – 2006) had four str<strong>at</strong>egic priorities. These were: expansion of enrolment;improving the quality of teaching and learning processes; building capacity within the educ<strong>at</strong>ionsystem and; strengthening the institutional arrangements th<strong>at</strong> support the planning and delivery ofeduc<strong>at</strong>ional services. Based on the lessons learnt from PEDP I its successor; PEDP II (2007-2011) had seven areas of focus. These were: Enrolment Expansion focusing on access and equity;Quality Improvement; Capacity Building; Cross-Cutting Issues; Strengthening InstitutionalArrangements; Educ<strong>at</strong>ional Research and; Monitoring and Evalu<strong>at</strong>ion.Evalu<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP II <strong>wa</strong>s conducted in 2011/12 as an activity within the action plan so as tomeasure the impact of its implement<strong>at</strong>ion in pre-primary and primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion. The findingsfrom the evalu<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP II pointed to progress in some areas. The pre-primary NetEnrolment R<strong>at</strong>e (NER) increased from 33.1% in 2007 to 42.4% in 2011 though not <strong>at</strong> the r<strong>at</strong>edesired by PEDP II. The evalu<strong>at</strong>ion also revealed th<strong>at</strong> the number of Grade B/C teachersdecreased by 66.8%, while th<strong>at</strong> of Grade A teachers increased by 52%, implying th<strong>at</strong> the numberof qualified teachers had increased. In terms of aggreg<strong>at</strong>e teacher-pupil r<strong>at</strong>io <strong>at</strong> the n<strong>at</strong>ional level,there <strong>wa</strong>s a marginal improvement from 1:52 to 1:48 or a 7.7% improvement, but <strong>this</strong> is belowthe target r<strong>at</strong>io of 1:40. Furthermore, s<strong>at</strong>isfactory performance <strong>wa</strong>s achieved in arresting pupilrepetition r<strong>at</strong>e, addressing teacher incentives and implementing measures to tackle cross-cuttingissues.


Despite those achievements, there were also challenges th<strong>at</strong> constrained the <strong>at</strong>tainment ofobjectives and targets planned in PEDP II. For example, the financial gaps were high such th<strong>at</strong>they neg<strong>at</strong>ively affected the achievements of the targets set. The rehabilit<strong>at</strong>ion of the existingclassrooms and construction of new ones could not reach the target of Classroom Pupil R<strong>at</strong>io(CPR) of 1:40 from 1:66 (2011), due to financial constraints. The shortage of desks is still high.There is a shortage of about 1,836,000 desks which represents approxim<strong>at</strong>ely 49.1% of therequirements.The Net Enrolment R<strong>at</strong>e (NER) has declined from 97.9% in 2006 to 94.3% in 2011 (a decline by3.6%), implying th<strong>at</strong> there are still school-age children who are not in school. Although the GERdeclined from 112.7% in 2006 to 102.7% in 2011, implying th<strong>at</strong> the system is still enrollingoverage children.2.4 Purpose of PEDP IIIPEDP III will re-address the challenges experienced in PEDP II and use a particip<strong>at</strong>ory approachto implement<strong>at</strong>ion. The main areas th<strong>at</strong> need <strong>at</strong>tention in PEDP III include issues on; financing,capacity building, teaching and learning environment, emerging issues in pre-primary andprimary educ<strong>at</strong>ion. Others are the revamping of 3Rs in lower primary, curriculum reviews,assessments and examin<strong>at</strong>ion, improving school inspection, Educ<strong>at</strong>ion Sector ManagementInform<strong>at</strong>ion System (ESMIS), educ<strong>at</strong>ional research, enrolment expansion and cross cuttingissues. Specifically the main objectives of PEDP III are to:i. Increase equitable access to pre-primary and primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion;ii. Raise the quality of educ<strong>at</strong>ion to ensure better learning outcomes for children includingimproved literacy,iii. Improve the teaching and learning of 3Rs <strong>at</strong> lower primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion ;iv. Strengthen the capacity for governance and management for effective delivery of pre-primaryand primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion services;v. Ensure th<strong>at</strong> cross-cutting issues are addressed so th<strong>at</strong> children receive a well-roundededuc<strong>at</strong>ion;


vi. Strengthen research and monitoring and evalu<strong>at</strong>ion to support evidence based decisionmakingand;vii. Streamline institutional arrangements and co-ordin<strong>at</strong>ion mechanisms.To address these issues adequ<strong>at</strong>ely calls for full particip<strong>at</strong>ion of all actors in fulfilling their rolesand responsibilities.


CHAPTER 3: PEDP III (2012 – 2016) PROGRAMME COMPONENTS3.0 IntroductionThe Government is committed to increasing equitable access to quality educ<strong>at</strong>ion for all children<strong>at</strong> both the pre-primary and primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion levels. This Chapter describes the current situ<strong>at</strong>ionfor both levels and outlines the main objectives and str<strong>at</strong>egies to address access, equity andquality. It also outlines objectives and str<strong>at</strong>egies for raising capacity in governance andmanagement; strengthening research and monitoring and evalu<strong>at</strong>ion and streamlining institutionalarrangements.3.1 Pre-Primary Educ<strong>at</strong>ionThe aim of pre-primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion is to ensure th<strong>at</strong> children are ready and prepared to startprimary school in Standard I. There is convincing evidence of the existence of strong <strong>link</strong>sbetween early learning and school readiness. For <strong>this</strong> reason, the Government is committed toinvest in pre-primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion as a new critical level of educ<strong>at</strong>ion for expediting thedevelopment of the country.3.1.1 Access and Equity: Pre-primary enrolment has been increasing although the targets setwere not realised during the implement<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP II. Pre-primary enrolment in 2011 <strong>wa</strong>s1,069,208 pupils, which is only 52% of the PEDP II target of 2,043,983 pupils. In 2012 theenrolment <strong>wa</strong>s 1,034,729 pupils (530,425 were boys and 504,304 girls). This represents a GER of41.8% and a NER of 39.9%. These figures do not show certain regional differences. For examplein Dar es Salaam the NER <strong>wa</strong>s <strong>at</strong> 13.9% whilst in M<strong>wa</strong>nza it <strong>wa</strong>s <strong>at</strong> 65.8%. In the same year1,648 pupils with special needs were enrolled. This is lower than the number in 2011 (2,170).The main reasons for the failure to reach the target is th<strong>at</strong> many primary schools still lack preprimaryclasses and other adequ<strong>at</strong>e facilities including toilets. In 2011 the Pupil Classroom R<strong>at</strong>io(PCR) stands <strong>at</strong> 1:115 which indic<strong>at</strong>es a serious shortage of pre-primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion classroomscountrywide.


3.1.2 Quality: There has been an increase in the number of children accessing pre-primaryeduc<strong>at</strong>ion. However <strong>this</strong> has not been m<strong>at</strong>ched by the recruitment and deployment of an adequ<strong>at</strong>enumber of qualified teachers. The current qualified: teacher r<strong>at</strong>io stands <strong>at</strong> 1:124 (2012) far belowthe recommended r<strong>at</strong>io of 1:25. This level of educ<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>wa</strong>s not included in PEDP I nor were thealloc<strong>at</strong>ed Capit<strong>at</strong>ion Grants (CG) and Development Grants (DG) planned under PEDP II released.This significantly affected the quality of educ<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>at</strong> the pre-primary level and contributed to theshortage of classrooms, teaching and learning m<strong>at</strong>erials and the <strong>at</strong>tendant facilities.PEDP III will put more emphasis on increasing access and improving quality <strong>at</strong> the pre-primaryeduc<strong>at</strong>ion level.Objective 1: Increase access and equity <strong>at</strong> the pre-primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion levelStr<strong>at</strong>egiesi. Ensure th<strong>at</strong> every primary school has a pre-primary class with adequ<strong>at</strong>e facilities, includingclassrooms and l<strong>at</strong>rines, for the provision of the two year pre-primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion cycle,taking account of children with special needs;ii. Mobilize and Support LGAs to set up s<strong>at</strong>ellite pre-primary classes in difficult and hard-toreachareas;iii. Sensitize LGAs to enforce by-laws in order to promote enrolment in pre-primaryeduc<strong>at</strong>ion;iv. Mobilize the priv<strong>at</strong>e sector to continue supporting the provision of pre-primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion;v. Raise the a<strong>wa</strong>reness of the community on the importance of pre-primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion for allchildren including those with special needs and;vi. Mobilise the community to support school feeding for pre-primary children.Objective 2: Improve the quality of pre-primary educ<strong>at</strong>ionStr<strong>at</strong>egies


i). Provide Capit<strong>at</strong>ion Grants of: i) Tshs 10,000 per pre-primary pupil per year and; ii) Tshs20,000 per pre-primary pupil with special needs;ii). Mobilise communities to support quality improvement initi<strong>at</strong>ives;iii). Recruit and train an adequ<strong>at</strong>e number of pre-primary school teachers and deploy them to theLGAs according to their demand;iv). Facilit<strong>at</strong>e accredit<strong>at</strong>ion of qualific<strong>at</strong>ions offered by priv<strong>at</strong>e providers for pre-primary teachereduc<strong>at</strong>ion;v).

Sensitize LGAs to provide incentives to pre-primary teachers posted to difficult and hardto-reachareas;viii). Recruit para-professional pre-primary teachers to c<strong>at</strong>er for the acute shortage of the teachersin hard-to-reach areas and;ix). Strengthen the monitoring and supervision of teaching and learning in all pre-primaryschools.3.2 Primary Educ<strong>at</strong>ionThe aim of primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion is to ensure th<strong>at</strong> all children acquire the basic skills, knowledge and<strong>at</strong>titudes needed for life. Under PEDP I access <strong>wa</strong>s the major focus where school fees for primaryeduc<strong>at</strong>ion were abolished to enhance enrolment. With PEDP II issues of quality came to the fore.The Government remains committed to: maintaining increased access and; improving the qualityof educ<strong>at</strong>ion.3.2.1 Access and Equity:The target for PEDP II (2007 – 2011) <strong>wa</strong>s to enrol all 7 year old children into Standard I by 2011.This target <strong>wa</strong>s not achieved. In 2007 the NER had reached 97.3% but declined to 94.3% in


2011. In 2012 it fell again to 92%. There are also significant regional disparities. For examplethe NER stood <strong>at</strong> 80.9% in Manyara and 99.8% in Mbeya. In general there are no significantgender differences in terms of NER but in Dodoma it <strong>wa</strong>s 84.1% for boys and 92.1% for girls.The GER <strong>wa</strong>s <strong>at</strong> 98.4% n<strong>at</strong>ionally; for Manyara it <strong>wa</strong>s 85.5%. The dropout r<strong>at</strong>e <strong>wa</strong>s <strong>at</strong> 3.3%. Inshort these figures show th<strong>at</strong> there are still school-age children who are not in school.The PEDP II evalu<strong>at</strong>ion revealed th<strong>at</strong> some schools have overcrowded classrooms; some aredilapid<strong>at</strong>ed calling for a need to construct new classrooms and undertake maintenance of theexisting ones. Only 17% of the targeted numbers of classrooms were built during PEDP II. Thishas led to the current high Classroom Pupil R<strong>at</strong>io (CPR) of 1:70 which is below the n<strong>at</strong>ionalstandard of 1:40. Some forms of violence against children especially to girls have been cited insome schools. This may act as a barrier to particip<strong>at</strong>ion and learning.During the implement<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP III, the Government will continue to emphasize and enforcecompulsory enrolment and <strong>at</strong>tendance of all school age children. It will promote equity byensuring th<strong>at</strong> all groups of children including children: with disabilities; from poor families; frompastoralists; from nomadic communities; living in difficult and hard to reach areas and; orphansand vulnerable children can access quality primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion.Objective 1: Increase access and equity <strong>at</strong> primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion levelStr<strong>at</strong>egiesSensitize LGAs to enforce bylaws in order to promote enrolment in primary schools;Construct, rehabilit<strong>at</strong>e and furnish primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion infrastructures;Mobilize the priv<strong>at</strong>e sector to continue to support provision of primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion throughpublic-priv<strong>at</strong>e partnership;Raise a<strong>wa</strong>reness of parents and communities on the importance of primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion;Scale up school feeding programmes to cover all primary schools;\Expand altern<strong>at</strong>ive learningopportunities for out of school children aged 8-13;


Increase enrolment of children with special needs;Ensure th<strong>at</strong> schools are protective and safe environments for children and;Ensure th<strong>at</strong> all teachers are sensitised on the N<strong>at</strong>ional Code of Conduct and ProfessionalEthics.3.2.2 Qualitya) Teacher Recruitment and RetentionThe Government through PEDP II implemented the following objectives on teachertraining for primary schools to: recruit adequ<strong>at</strong>e number of new teachers; establish aTeacher Pupil R<strong>at</strong>io (TPR) th<strong>at</strong> could accommod<strong>at</strong>e enrolment increase and; ensure anequitable and gender balanced deployment of teachers.The minimum entry qualific<strong>at</strong>ion for primary school teachers during PEDP I and IIimplement<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>wa</strong>s 28 points of the Certific<strong>at</strong>e of Secondary Educ<strong>at</strong>ion Examin<strong>at</strong>ion(CSEE). However, due to the need to improve quality educ<strong>at</strong>ion, the Government raisedthe entry qualific<strong>at</strong>ion to 27 points starting from the academic year 2012/2013. Duringimplement<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP II there <strong>wa</strong>s a declining TPR as a result of deployment ofteachers throughout the country. However, it has been observed th<strong>at</strong> teachers deployed todifficult and hard-to-reach areas either do not report or they do not stay long. In addition,deployment of teachers did not take into account specializ<strong>at</strong>ion of subjects in the schools.Thus, all primary school teachers were made to teach all subjectsPre-service teacher training does not guarantee continuous and sustainable improvement inthe quality of teaching and learning. Under PEDP II In Service Educ<strong>at</strong>ion and Training(INSET) <strong>wa</strong>s to be provided in line with the Teacher Development and ManagementStr<strong>at</strong>egy (TDMS). In <strong>this</strong> regard the Government developed and started implementing acost effective INSET str<strong>at</strong>egy for primary school teachers. The str<strong>at</strong>egy focused onimproving the quality of teaching and learning through school-based INSET, using an openand distance learning approach.


Provision of houses to teachers especially the newly employed and those posted to difficultand hard-to-reach areas is an incentive for their performance and retention. Provision ofhousing will also enable teachers to prepare their lesson plans and notes properly hencecontributing to better educ<strong>at</strong>ion outcomes. During PEDP II the government increased theavailable number of houses for teachers from one house to fifteen teachers in 2006 to onehouse to twelve teachers in 2011. However, <strong>this</strong> is far from the target of one house to oneteacher.Under PEDP III teachers will continue to be recruited and deployed to LGAs according todemand. The Government aims to provide incentive packages to teachers teaching indifficult and hard to reach areas and continue to address established rights of all teachers.Moreover, it will continue to sensitize communities to improve school-communityrel<strong>at</strong>ionships. The Government will continue to provide school-based INSET and scale itup to reach all primary school teachers.Objective 1 - Increase the number of primary school teachersStr<strong>at</strong>egiesTrain adequ<strong>at</strong>e number of primary school teachers especially of M<strong>at</strong>hem<strong>at</strong>ics, Languages andSciences and;Rehabilit<strong>at</strong>e, expand and maximize capacity utiliz<strong>at</strong>ion of Teachers' colleges.Objective 2 - Recruit and deploy quality teachers especially in difficult and hard-to-reachschoolsStr<strong>at</strong>egiesEnsure equitable distribution of teachers in both urban and rural areas to <strong>at</strong>tain a PTR of 1:40in all schools;Train school committees to mobilize community support to teachers and;


Recruit and orient adequ<strong>at</strong>e Complementary Basic Educ<strong>at</strong>ion in <strong>Tanzania</strong> (COBET)facilit<strong>at</strong>ors (Teachers/Ward Educ<strong>at</strong>ion Coordin<strong>at</strong>ors (WECs)/school inspectors) on teachingand learning process.Objective 3 - Improve the capacity of primary school teachers to provide quality learningStr<strong>at</strong>egiesBuild capacity of college tutors to provide quality pre-service training;Scale up school-based INSET to all primary school teachers especially in the priority subjectsof science, m<strong>at</strong>hem<strong>at</strong>ics and languages and;Provide encouragement for teachers to particip<strong>at</strong>e in INSET and provide an appropri<strong>at</strong>ecertific<strong>at</strong>ion.Objective 4 - Promote the retention of teachers especially in difficult and hard-to-reach areasStr<strong>at</strong>egiesConstruct, rehabilit<strong>at</strong>e and furnish teachers’ houses;Mobilize communities to particip<strong>at</strong>e in the construction of teachers’ houses;Mobilize public and priv<strong>at</strong>e institutions to construct teachers’ houses through public priv<strong>at</strong>epartnership and;Implement the Medium-Term Pay Policy Str<strong>at</strong>egy which addresses the provision of incentivesto teachers.b) Teachers Resource Centers (TRCs)TRCs are effective places for providing learning resources for teachers oper<strong>at</strong>ing in theirvicinities. In such centers, teachers get opportunities to share professional experiences amongthemselves. However, during PEDP II implement<strong>at</strong>ion the TRCs were not functioning well andsome of them are almost closed. TRCs could be utilized as library facilities, study centers orcluster centers for the academic and professional development of teachers. Therefore, TRCs andschool cluster centers will continually be used to support school-based INSET programmes.


Objective - Revamp and improve the utiliz<strong>at</strong>ion of TRCsStr<strong>at</strong>egiesConstruct new TRCs and rehabilit<strong>at</strong>e the existing TRCs ensuring they have adequ<strong>at</strong>e facilitiesand;Provide capacity building for all TRC Coordin<strong>at</strong>ors.c) Teaching and Learning ResourcesThe Book Pupil R<strong>at</strong>io declined from 1:3 in 2008/9 to 1:5 in 2010/11. It is therefore still far fromthe n<strong>at</strong>ional standard BPR of 1:1. The Government in PEDP III will continue to provide teachingand learning m<strong>at</strong>erials in all primary schools. It will also encourage innov<strong>at</strong>ions in the teachingand learning practices including improvis<strong>at</strong>ion of teaching and learning m<strong>at</strong>erials. Educ<strong>at</strong>ionalM<strong>at</strong>erials Approval Committee (EMAC) will continue to approve both textual and non-textualteaching and learning m<strong>at</strong>erials for primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion.Objective - Ensure provision of adequ<strong>at</strong>e teaching and learning m<strong>at</strong>erials for quality primaryeduc<strong>at</strong>ionStr<strong>at</strong>egiesProvide Capit<strong>at</strong>ion Grants of: i) Tshs 10,000 per primary pupil per year and; ii) TShs 20,000per primary pupil with special needs and;Mobilize corpor<strong>at</strong>e, priv<strong>at</strong>e, public institutions and other actors to provide teaching andlearning m<strong>at</strong>erials to schools.d) Inform<strong>at</strong>ion and Communic<strong>at</strong>ion Technology (ICT)The use of ICT is inevitable in the process of improving the quality of educ<strong>at</strong>ion. ICT isconsidered to be an integral part in the quality teaching and learning process. Furthermore, ICTuse in schools can reduce teachers’ professional isol<strong>at</strong>ion through widening opportunities to


teachers and students to access teaching and learning resources. However, it has been noted th<strong>at</strong>PEDP II experienced shortage of ICT facilities and inadequ<strong>at</strong>e utiliz<strong>at</strong>ion of ICT in improvingteaching and learning process. PEDP III will develop a programme for enhancing ICT teachingcapacity in primary schools th<strong>at</strong> will integr<strong>at</strong>e ICT in teaching and learning processes.Objective - Strengthen the integr<strong>at</strong>ion and effective use of ICT in teaching and learning inprimary schoolsStr<strong>at</strong>egiesi). Provide appropri<strong>at</strong>e ICT infrastructure including solar power support in primary schools;ii). Train adequ<strong>at</strong>e number of teachers and curriculum developers on e-content development forprimary schools and;iii). Develop e-content for all core subjects for teaching and learning in primary schools.e) Curriculum Development and Implement<strong>at</strong>ionCurriculum implement<strong>at</strong>ion entails teaching and learning of the subject content. The curriculumis al<strong>wa</strong>ys dynamic in order to accommod<strong>at</strong>e educ<strong>at</strong>ional changes eman<strong>at</strong>ing from social,economic, cultural and technological developments. In 2005 the competency based curriculum<strong>wa</strong>s introduced but during PEDP II <strong>this</strong> significant change <strong>wa</strong>s not addressed adequ<strong>at</strong>ely in allschools including the teaching of ICT. It has been noted th<strong>at</strong> teacher <strong>at</strong>tendance, regularexercises, marking pupils’ work and assessment of students have high bearing on ensuringdelivery of the competency-based curriculum and on improving performance.Under PEDP III, INSET for primary school teachers on assessment and evalu<strong>at</strong>ion, will bepromoted through the newly established school-based INSET for primary school teachers. TheINSET programme will also be used to support teachers in delivering the competency-basedcurriculum to primary school children.


Objective - Improve teaching and learning of the competency-based curriculumStr<strong>at</strong>egiesi). Provide orient<strong>at</strong>ion to all primary school teachers on competency-based curriculum;ii). Revise the Curriculum to enhance the basic literacy skills <strong>at</strong> lower primary grades ;iii). Build capacity of Tutors and Curriculum Coordin<strong>at</strong>ors in monitoring and evalu<strong>at</strong>ion of theimplement<strong>at</strong>ion of competency-based curriculum in all primary schools and;iv). Reinforce teacher <strong>at</strong>tendance in class to promote effective curriculum implement<strong>at</strong>ion.f) Reading, Writing and Arithmetic (3Rs)The 3Rs are the basic literacy skills th<strong>at</strong> everyone should master in order to progress in life. Ithas been noted th<strong>at</strong> primary school teachers have not been well versed in facilit<strong>at</strong>ing pupils todevelop these core basic skills. As a result some pupils have been reported to complete theprimary educ<strong>at</strong>ion cycle without appropri<strong>at</strong>e mastery of the 3Rs.In order to revamp the skills of 3Rs, a specific training program for 3Rs will be carried outn<strong>at</strong>ionwide. The course content for the training of these teachers will be prepared. The trainingfor the 3Rs skills is meant to enable pupils in lower classes to excel in reading, writing andarithmetic. The Government will utilize the existing school-based INSET for primary schoolteachers to put emphasis on literacy development in primary schools. PEDP III will develop aliteracy development programme in schools and TRCs th<strong>at</strong> will employ current literacydevelopment techniques such as Diagnostic Teaching Techniques which have been found to workwell in developing 3Rs skills.Objective - Ensure th<strong>at</strong> children leave the primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion system having mastered the 3RsStr<strong>at</strong>egiesi). Conduct a rapid needs assessment to establish priority areas in 3Rs;ii). Conduct training on 3Rs to primary schools teachers;


iii). Utilize the current school-based INSET to train primary school teachers on 3Rs and;iv). Promote class libraries to enhance reading culture of pupils and teachersg) Examin<strong>at</strong>ion and AssessmentAssessments and examin<strong>at</strong>ions are used to monitor the proper implement<strong>at</strong>ion of the curricula tomeasure students’ progress. Within the primary school cycle, two examin<strong>at</strong>ions are conducted;these are Standard IV and Standard VII examin<strong>at</strong>ions. The former, identifies pupils’ progressafter four years particularly in the mastery of the basic skills including the 3Rs. , PSLE on theother hand, is used as a base for students to join the secondary educ<strong>at</strong>ion cycle.In order to ensure quality assessment and management of examin<strong>at</strong>ions, the Government willcontinue to provide financial, m<strong>at</strong>erial support, security and safety in the entire examin<strong>at</strong>ionprocess. Moreover, examin<strong>at</strong>ion setting will be improved so th<strong>at</strong> a more comprehensive andscientific assessment is achieved.Objective - Improve assessment, examin<strong>at</strong>ion setting and administr<strong>at</strong>ive processes ofexamin<strong>at</strong>ionsStr<strong>at</strong>egiesTrain examin<strong>at</strong>ion personnel on how to set exams reflecting competency-based curriculum;Train teachers on setting competency-based assessment and examin<strong>at</strong>ions and;Establish secure and safe environment in the examin<strong>at</strong>ion process including construction ofsafe rooms in schools/councils.h) School Inspection


The Government under PEDP II <strong>wa</strong>s committed to enhancing the capacity for undertaking andutilizing school inspection as a key mechanism for quality assurance. The Controller and AuditorGeneral (CAG) report (2007) and PEDP II evalu<strong>at</strong>ion report both indic<strong>at</strong>ed th<strong>at</strong> the schoolinspection objective <strong>wa</strong>s not achieved s<strong>at</strong>isfactorily due to inadequ<strong>at</strong>e: working facilities; numberof school inspectors and; training for school inspectors. The PEDP II evalu<strong>at</strong>ion report wentfurther to reveal th<strong>at</strong> science and m<strong>at</strong>hem<strong>at</strong>ics subjects suffered the most due to the shortage ofschool inspectors. The current set up of the School Inspector<strong>at</strong>e Department does not providerequisite autonomy to deliver independently. This calls for a need to establish an independentinspector<strong>at</strong>e.Objective - Strengthen school inspection for quality assuranceStr<strong>at</strong>egiesProvide school inspectors with adequ<strong>at</strong>e tools for effective classroom teaching qualityassurance;Recruit and train competent teachers, especially on science and m<strong>at</strong>hem<strong>at</strong>ics subjects, to joinschool inspector<strong>at</strong>e;Provide capacity building on Competency Based Curriculum for all school inspectors;Construct district school inspector<strong>at</strong>e offices and;Sensitize key stakeholders on the establishment of an independent School Inspector<strong>at</strong>eAgency.3.2.3 Strengthening Capacity in Governance and ManagementStrengthening capacity involves developing and strengthening structures, institutions andprocedures th<strong>at</strong> help to ensure transparent and accountable governance in all public institutions.This includes improving capacity to analyze, plan, formul<strong>at</strong>e and implement policies andprogrammes. Capacity strengthening in <strong>this</strong> context entails the process of enabling properfunctioning of human resource in terms of governance and management skills and provision ofworking facilities to the educ<strong>at</strong>ion actors. This includes training on good governance and proper


management of available resources. In addition <strong>this</strong> involves the provision of equipment andsupplies.Although areas of governance and management have been addressed by both PEDP I and PEDPII, there are challenges th<strong>at</strong> need to be addressed by PEDP III. Aligning with the proposal tocontinue capacity strengthening of educ<strong>at</strong>ion actors, the PEDP II evalu<strong>at</strong>ion report reveals th<strong>at</strong>there is a gap in governance and management skills among curriculum implementers, including;school committees, Head Teachers, Teachers, WECs, TRC coordin<strong>at</strong>ors as well as <strong>at</strong> Councils,Regional and N<strong>at</strong>ional levels. Reports have shown th<strong>at</strong> school committees were trained in 2003; along time ago considering the tenure of service for school committee members which is only fouryears. Consequently, newly appointed school committee members were not trained. Considering<strong>this</strong> background, PEDP III is envisaged to address the shortfalls. The earmarked areas include:Governance and Management training for various educ<strong>at</strong>ional actors; training and facilit<strong>at</strong>ion inEduc<strong>at</strong>ion Sector Management Inform<strong>at</strong>ion System (ESMIS); finance and procurementmanagement training as well as training and facilit<strong>at</strong>ion of e-Governance to the councils, regionaleduc<strong>at</strong>ion actors and ministry headquarters. The Government will also continue to emphasize thebroadening of democr<strong>at</strong>ic particip<strong>at</strong>ion and accountability.Objective 1 - Strengthen the capacity of different actors in primary educ<strong>at</strong>ionStr<strong>at</strong>egiesCapacity building of school committees on school management, procurement and financialmanagement;Capacity building of WECs in monitoring and evalu<strong>at</strong>ion and;Capacity building of educ<strong>at</strong>ion officials <strong>at</strong> council, regional and n<strong>at</strong>ional levels in educ<strong>at</strong>ionmanagement.Objective 2 - Strengthen functions of Ward Educ<strong>at</strong>ion and TRCs Coordin<strong>at</strong>orsStr<strong>at</strong>egiesProvide WECs with adequ<strong>at</strong>e tools for effective quality assurance and;

Capacity building of Head teachers and school committees members on Financial andprocurement management;Capacity building of officials <strong>at</strong> council, regional and n<strong>at</strong>ional levels on Financial andprocurement management and;Conduct regular monitoring, auditing and periodic tracking of funds disbursed and spent onprimary educ<strong>at</strong>ion.3.2.4 Cross-Cutting Issues (CCIs)PEDP III will address the following cross-cutting issues: environment; HIV and AIDS; gender;guidance and counseling and; sports and games. The key objective is to ensure th<strong>at</strong> all childrenwill receive a well-rounded educ<strong>at</strong>ion and be prepared for adult life.a) EnvironmentGiven its importance in tackling Clim<strong>at</strong>e Change and preventing loss of human life and property,sustainable environmental management <strong>wa</strong>s one of the key cross-cutting issues addressed in bothPEDP I and II. The focus <strong>wa</strong>s on the provision of environmental educ<strong>at</strong>ion through the schoolcurricula. However teacher training on <strong>this</strong> area <strong>wa</strong>s inadequ<strong>at</strong>e and pupils’ a<strong>wa</strong>reness onenvironmental issues remains low.PEDP III will strengthen environmental behaviour change and practices in schools. It will alsosupport environmental disaster preparedness. One of the essential areas is w<strong>at</strong>er supply andl<strong>at</strong>rines facilities which are essential for the maintenance of sanit<strong>at</strong>ion and hygiene in schools.The Government in collabor<strong>at</strong>ion with the communities and other stakeholders will continue tosupply clean w<strong>at</strong>er and l<strong>at</strong>rines facilities to <strong>at</strong>tain the required standards.Objective 1: Improve environmental behaviour change and practices in primary schoolsStr<strong>at</strong>egiesSupply clean w<strong>at</strong>er, sanit<strong>at</strong>ion and hygiene facilities for primary schools and;Enhance the capacity of Ward Educ<strong>at</strong>ion Co-ordin<strong>at</strong>ors (WECs) and head-teachers onenvironmental educ<strong>at</strong>ion and environmental disaster preparedness.


) HIV and AIDSN<strong>at</strong>ionally, HIV and AIDS has been addressed through the Multi - sectoral Str<strong>at</strong>egic Plans (2003-2007 and 2007-2012) coordin<strong>at</strong>ed by <strong>Tanzania</strong> Commission for AIDS (TACAIDS). Theobjective under PEDP II <strong>wa</strong>s to ensure th<strong>at</strong> all actors within the basic educ<strong>at</strong>ion sub-sector wereequipped with the knowledge and skills to protect themselves and others against the HIV andAIDS pandemic and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Infected and affected pupils andteachers also received support through guidance and counseling.PEDP III will continue to provide preventive HIV and AIDS educ<strong>at</strong>ion to pupils and teachers,including care and support in line with the current HIV and AIDS Str<strong>at</strong>egic Plan.Objective 1 – Strengthen HIV and AIDS preventive educ<strong>at</strong>ion and care and support inprimary schoolsStr<strong>at</strong>egiesEnhance the capacity of all teachers on HIV and AIDS preventive educ<strong>at</strong>ion and guidance andcounseling;Provide HIV and AIDS tailor-made life skills educ<strong>at</strong>ion to infected and/or affected pupils;Sensitize pupils and teachers to go for Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) and;Improve care and support services for infected and affected teachers and pupils.c) Gender IssuesGender responsiveness across the educ<strong>at</strong>ion system <strong>wa</strong>s seen in PEDP II as an importantcontribution to the achievement of access, quality and equity to educ<strong>at</strong>ion, which are the majorintern<strong>at</strong>ional goals as articul<strong>at</strong>ed in EFA and MDGs. The objectives of PEDP II were tostrengthen capacity building in gender issues <strong>at</strong> all levels and ensure th<strong>at</strong> gender issues aremainstreamed in policies, str<strong>at</strong>egic plans, programmes and budgets. To achieve these objectivestraining modules on gender were to be developed for capacity building of the educ<strong>at</strong>ion actors.The overall objective <strong>wa</strong>s to ensure th<strong>at</strong> gender responsive pedagogy <strong>wa</strong>s employed in primary


schools. Despite these intentions capacity building training modules on gender a<strong>wa</strong>reness werenot adequ<strong>at</strong>ely done.Gender parity, in terms of access <strong>at</strong> the pre-primary level, has been achieved in all but one region(M<strong>wa</strong>nza, where gender parity in 2012 stood <strong>at</strong> 0.8). It has been achieved in all regions <strong>at</strong> theprimary level. Despite <strong>this</strong> there is no gender parity in terms of completion and examin<strong>at</strong>ionperformance <strong>at</strong> the end of primary schools. In 2012, 57.4% of girls completed primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion,compared to 52.2% of boys. In terms of examin<strong>at</strong>ion results <strong>at</strong> the end of primary school of thosegirls th<strong>at</strong> s<strong>at</strong> the final exams in 2011, only 54.5% passed; for the boys it <strong>wa</strong>s 62.5%.The focus of PEDP III will be on addressing gender imbalances particularly in terms ofachievement.Objective1 – Reduce gender disparities <strong>at</strong> the primary school levelStr<strong>at</strong>egiesEncourage LGAs and community leaders to engage communities in tackling genderdisparities <strong>at</strong> the community level;Enhance capacity of educ<strong>at</strong>ion planners and managers <strong>at</strong> n<strong>at</strong>ional and sub-n<strong>at</strong>ional levels torespond to gender specific challenges in educ<strong>at</strong>ion and;Enhance teachers’ capacities to equip boys and girls equally with the skills, knowledge and<strong>at</strong>titudes needed for life.d) Guidance and CounselingThe role of Guidance and Counseling in schools is to ensure th<strong>at</strong> all learners access appropri<strong>at</strong>eguidance and counseling services to enhance and promote educ<strong>at</strong>ional, personal, social,emotional, and career development of students in schools and in the community. AlthoughGuidance and Counseling services have been institutionalized in schools incidences ofindiscipline, drug abuse and drop-out are still rampant. Under PEDP III the institutionalizedGuidance and Counseling services will be improved.


Objective 1 – Improve capacity of the pre-primary and primary schools to provide qualityguidance and counseling services to learnersStr<strong>at</strong>egiesFinalize and dissemin<strong>at</strong>e the N<strong>at</strong>ional Guidance Str<strong>at</strong>egic Plan on care, support, guidance andcounseling to all primary schools;Dissemin<strong>at</strong>e the life skills modules for primary schools and;Train teachers on care, support, guidance and counseling.e) Sports and GamesSports and games are among the important components of culture of any society. They provideentertainment, improve health and the healthy mind of a person, instill good discipline, andpopularize ability and talent of an individual. However, during PEDP II there has beeninadequ<strong>at</strong>e number of teachers and play-grounds for games and sports in schools.PEDP III will strengthen sports and games in pre-primary and primary schools.Objective 1 – Strengthen sports and games for pupils and teachers in pre-primary and primaryschoolsStr<strong>at</strong>egiesTrain teachers to deliver quality sports and games activities for pre-primary and primarypupils and;Provide equipment and m<strong>at</strong>erials for sports and games in primary schools.3.2.5 Research, Monitoring and Evalu<strong>at</strong>iona) Educ<strong>at</strong>ional ResearchEduc<strong>at</strong>ional research is a continuous process th<strong>at</strong> influences political, social and cultural changes,as well as scientific and technological transform<strong>at</strong>ions. Research, therefore, provides valid andreliable inform<strong>at</strong>ion for use by decision-makers when formul<strong>at</strong>ing new policies and reviewing


existing ones, and identifying priorities which are of major policy concerns within the educ<strong>at</strong>ionsystem.The PEDP II evalu<strong>at</strong>ion revealed th<strong>at</strong> there <strong>wa</strong>s not much pre-primary and primary educ<strong>at</strong>ionresearch th<strong>at</strong> had been undertaken <strong>at</strong> both levels. There is a need to build capacity to undertakeaction research <strong>at</strong> all levels. At school level teachers should have skills to help them research theproblems being faced <strong>at</strong> their level and evolve appropri<strong>at</strong>e solutions. The council level, alsoneeds good research capacity (skills, tools) so th<strong>at</strong> it is able to analyze the challenges andopportunities being faced by the primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion sub-sector in the respective councils, proposeworkable solutions and implement them in a much better and prioritized manner.Strengthening educ<strong>at</strong>ion research and dissemin<strong>at</strong>ion of research findings is one of the priorities ofPEDP III. . Without appropri<strong>at</strong>e research d<strong>at</strong>a, evidence-based decision making and effectiveplanning cannot be done.Objective 1 - Strengthen the capacity to conduct Educ<strong>at</strong>ional Research, Development andDissemin<strong>at</strong>ion (RD&D) <strong>at</strong> all levelsStr<strong>at</strong>egiesBuild capacity of MoEVT, PMO-RALG and LGAs in oper<strong>at</strong>ional/practical, action-orientedresearch skills and;Provide appropri<strong>at</strong>e infrastructure and m<strong>at</strong>erials for the Educ<strong>at</strong>ion Research Unit.Objective 2 - Strengthen action research in pre-primary and primary educ<strong>at</strong>ionStr<strong>at</strong>egiesDevelop and dissemin<strong>at</strong>e action research manual to all schools;Train Head Teachers in action-oriented research skills and;Dissemin<strong>at</strong>e and utilize research findings.b) Monitoring and Evalu<strong>at</strong>ion (M&E)


Monitoring and Evalu<strong>at</strong>ion (M&E) of the Ministries’ annual action plans will be a principalactivity within PEDP III for regular feedback on the achievements made and challenges faced inthe implement<strong>at</strong>ion of the programme. Within PEDP III framework there will be a core set ofProgram indic<strong>at</strong>ors which will be applied to measure progress on quantity and quality <strong>at</strong> preprimaryand primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion levels. The tools for conducting monitoring and evalu<strong>at</strong>ion will bedeveloped and shared with the implementing institutions. These monitoring tools will be derivedand guided by a log frame m<strong>at</strong>rix. PEDP III will be monitored through logical frameworkdetailing the indic<strong>at</strong>ors through which the results could be <strong>at</strong>tained.The Logical Frame M<strong>at</strong>rix as depicted in Annex 1 shows the goal of PEDP III to be achievedthroughout the five years of programme implement<strong>at</strong>ion. This is followed by the six objectives,each having a baseline for 2012 and targets for the dur<strong>at</strong>ion of the Programme. The Governmentin collabor<strong>at</strong>ion with the educ<strong>at</strong>ion stakeholders will strive to ensure th<strong>at</strong> PEDP III targets are<strong>at</strong>tained as indic<strong>at</strong>ed in the Logical Frame M<strong>at</strong>rix.M&E activities will produce inform<strong>at</strong>ion outputs on the basis of d<strong>at</strong>a sources which are standardreports/documents for dissemin<strong>at</strong>ion to stakeholders. The dissemin<strong>at</strong>ion of inform<strong>at</strong>ion outputwill be carried out using different media such as newsletters, brochures; M&E reports, websites,internet and dissemin<strong>at</strong>ion meetings/forums.PEDP III will be conducting regular quarterly monitoring reviews in addition to the AnnualSector Reviews to draw lessons for improving practices in the pre-primary and primary educ<strong>at</strong>ionsub-sector and strengthening inter-<strong>link</strong>ages with other sub-sectors so as to improve the provisionof educ<strong>at</strong>ion. The results of PEDP III Reviews will be shared through ESDC dialogue structure.Objective - Strengthen the Monitoring and Evalu<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP III implement<strong>at</strong>ionStr<strong>at</strong>egiesDevelop and dissemin<strong>at</strong>e Monitoring and Evalu<strong>at</strong>ion tools and guidelines for pre-primary andprimary educ<strong>at</strong>ion;


Conduct and dissemin<strong>at</strong>e quarterly monitoring reviews of PEDP III implement<strong>at</strong>ion to allstakeholders;Conduct and dissemin<strong>at</strong>e mid-term evalu<strong>at</strong>ion/review of PEDP III and;Conduct and dissemin<strong>at</strong>e impact/final evalu<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP III to stakeholders.3.2.6 Institutional ArrangementsInstitutional arrangements are vital for the effective implement<strong>at</strong>ion of any sector developmentplan. This is more so when successful plan implement<strong>at</strong>ion would involve the collabor<strong>at</strong>ion ofdifferent ministries and levels of government. It would be recalled th<strong>at</strong> one of the seven prioritycomponents of PEDP II <strong>wa</strong>s to optimize the use of human and financial resources within theexisting institutions th<strong>at</strong> comprise the educ<strong>at</strong>ion system. The implement<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP III mainlyinvolves two Ministries (the MoEVT and PMO-RALG), Regional Secretari<strong>at</strong>s, LocalGovernment Authorities, Development Partners, Non-St<strong>at</strong>e Actors and the schools. Efforts weremade to strengthen the implement<strong>at</strong>ion capacities of all key educ<strong>at</strong>ion players.The roles and responsibilities of all actors are described in Annex 6. MoEVT is responsible forthe formul<strong>at</strong>ion of policies, setting standards and the quality control of educ<strong>at</strong>ion. PMO-RALGis in charge of day to day implement<strong>at</strong>ion of the policies through the LGAs to school level.During implement<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP III emphasis will continue to be on strengthening capacities forbroader cooper<strong>at</strong>ion and collabor<strong>at</strong>ion between school and the parent ministries.Objective 1: Strengthen co-ordin<strong>at</strong>ion of roles and responsibilities among all educ<strong>at</strong>ionstakeholders Str<strong>at</strong>egiesDevelop and dissemin<strong>at</strong>e guidelines to support the smooth implement<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP IIIactivities and;Provision of training to School Committees, WECs, LGAs, Regional Secretari<strong>at</strong>, MOEVT andPMO-RALG officials on their roles and responsibilities.


CHAPTER 4: COSTING AND BUDGET FRAMEWORK4.1 Financing structure of the educ<strong>at</strong>ion sectorFunding for the educ<strong>at</strong>ion sector in <strong>Tanzania</strong> comes from four main sources: namely Governmentdomestic resources; General Budget Support; Project Support and; other stakeholders includingparents, Non St<strong>at</strong>e Actors and the priv<strong>at</strong>e sector. The Government has inform<strong>at</strong>ion on the firstthree sources of funding but the contribution of other stakeholders, which is substantial, is notadequ<strong>at</strong>ely captured. The Government will explore mechanisms for better capturing of theseimportant contributors to support Government effort.During the financial year 2011/12, the share of the n<strong>at</strong>ional budget alloc<strong>at</strong>ed to the educ<strong>at</strong>ionsector <strong>wa</strong>s 17.86%. A large proportion of the budget (93.8%) <strong>wa</strong>s disbursed through threeMinistries (MoEVT, PMO-RALG and MCDGC). The remaining share (6.2%) went to otherMinistries including the Ministry of Communic<strong>at</strong>ion, Science and Technology, Ministry of LandsHousing and Human Settlement Development, Ministry of Finance and Ministry of N<strong>at</strong>uralResources and Tourism. The budget trends analysis below refers only to the three main educ<strong>at</strong>ionsector ministries.The trend in the distribution of the educ<strong>at</strong>ion sector budget between sub-sectors is shown in theChart 4.1. Table 4.1 also shows the trends in terms of the total Government budget alloc<strong>at</strong>ed tothe sector. The amount of funds alloc<strong>at</strong>ed to primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion has increased each year since2008/09 though the percentage alloc<strong>at</strong>ion has not followed a particular p<strong>at</strong>tern. But it can benoted th<strong>at</strong> between FY 2011/12 and 2012/13 the share of the budget for primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion andteacher educ<strong>at</strong>ion increased whilst others, including for higher educ<strong>at</strong>ion, decreased. As can alsobe noted there has not been specific ring-fencing for pre-primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion. The Government willnow establish a separ<strong>at</strong>e budget line for pre-primary educ<strong>at</strong>ion.

In 2012/13, the budget for the three ministries amounted to Tshs 2,525,674mill equivalent to 87%of the educ<strong>at</strong>ion sector budget. The alloc<strong>at</strong>ion of funds between the three Ministries is as follows:MOEVT (Vote 46) Sh. 720,310.00 Mill (equivalent to 25% of total budget of the educ<strong>at</strong>ionsector);PMO-RALG (Vote 56, 79 -89 and 95) Sh. 1,795,050mill (equivalent to 62.1% of total budgetof the educ<strong>at</strong>ion sector). Budgets under PMO – RALG Vote 56 is 4,429mill and LGAsbudgets is Sh. 1,790,621mill and;MCDGC (Vote 53) Sh. 10,314 Mill (equivalent to 0.4% of total budget of the educ<strong>at</strong>ionsector).4.2 Basis of PEDP III Cost Calcul<strong>at</strong>ionsLike PEDP II, the PEDP III cost projections are based on the calcul<strong>at</strong>ed unit costs and theenrolment projections between 2012 and 2016. The unit costs and projections used in PEDP IIIbased on the identified gaps following the implement<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP II as well as the actual d<strong>at</strong>areported in Basic Educ<strong>at</strong>ion St<strong>at</strong>istic of <strong>Tanzania</strong> (BEST)-2012.The cost projections have been derived by taking into consider<strong>at</strong>ion the following basicassumptions (Annexes 2a -4b provides more detailed inform<strong>at</strong>ion):Government commitment of providing Capit<strong>at</strong>ion Grants of Tshs 10,000 per pupil is <strong>at</strong>tained;the average infl<strong>at</strong>ion r<strong>at</strong>e of double digit (18%) will be reduced and maintained <strong>at</strong> single digitover the period of PEDP III implement<strong>at</strong>ion;the domestic revenue collection of 16.7 per cent of GDP (2012/13) is expected to increase upto 19.0 per cent of GDP by 2015/16;<strong>at</strong>tain the real GDP growth r<strong>at</strong>e of 7.2 percent in 2012 up to 8.5 percent in 2015 (source:Budget Guidelines – 2012/13 – 2015/16);Government commitment to alloc<strong>at</strong>e up to 20 per cent of its overall recurrent expenditure toEduc<strong>at</strong>ion Sector is met. Out of <strong>this</strong> total, up to 60 per cent alloc<strong>at</strong>ed to Basic Educ<strong>at</strong>ion;


the N<strong>at</strong>ional Popul<strong>at</strong>ion Growth r<strong>at</strong>e of 2.9 per cent (2002 census) is constant over the planperiod;the real exchange r<strong>at</strong>e is expected to follow the purchasing power parity in the medium andlong terms and; construction costs indic<strong>at</strong>ed in Scenario 1 assumes the resources required willbe available. In Scenario 2 it is assumed th<strong>at</strong> 50% of construction activities will beaccomplished within the period of Programme implement<strong>at</strong>ion while Scenario 3 assumes th<strong>at</strong>25% of construction activities will be accomplished within the period of Programmeimplement<strong>at</strong>ion where 20% of construction costs will be derived from other sources includingcommunity support in cash or in kind.As <strong>wa</strong>s the case of PEDP II implement<strong>at</strong>ion, a large share of the resources for PEDP III (2012-2016) will be used for teacher salaries and Capit<strong>at</strong>ion Grants under recurrent expenditure. Inregard to development expenditure, the PEDP III resources alloc<strong>at</strong>ion and implement<strong>at</strong>ion willfocus on the selected n<strong>at</strong>ional priority areas namely, construction of teachers’ houses in difficultand hard to reach areas, construction of classrooms and improving w<strong>at</strong>er supply and sanit<strong>at</strong>ion.Furthermore, for the sake of quality educ<strong>at</strong>ion, PEDP III will take care of training of primaryschools teachers and provision of adequ<strong>at</strong>e and quality teaching and learning m<strong>at</strong>erials as well asfacilities. Other areas for funding are rehabilit<strong>at</strong>ion of schools infrastructure, providing care andsupport to victims of HIV and AIDS and addressing other cross-cutting issues like environmentand gender.4.3 Projected Costing of PEDP III and the Financing GapThree costing scenarios have been developed to support implement<strong>at</strong>ion of <strong>this</strong> plan. Scenario I isthe actual resource requirement and the Government’s preferred scenario. It estim<strong>at</strong>es the costsgiven 100% implement<strong>at</strong>ion of activities to meet the goals and str<strong>at</strong>egies th<strong>at</strong> fe<strong>at</strong>ure in previouschapters. Scenario I will cost Tshs 4,807,849,697,307 within the programme dur<strong>at</strong>ion.


Scenario II is the medium-cost scenario and assumes th<strong>at</strong> 50% of the key constructions i.e.classrooms and required teachers’ houses are completed. It will require a total of Tshs3,431,564,000,000 (Tshs 533282,000,000 for 2011/12) over the dur<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP III.Scenario III is the lowest cost scenario and assumes th<strong>at</strong> 25% of the same constructions will becompleted and th<strong>at</strong> 20% of construction costs will come from other sources includingcommunity support in cash or in kind over the five year period. It will require a total of2,796,253,000,000 (Tshs 394,663,000,000 for 2011/12) over the dur<strong>at</strong>ion of PEDP III. Annexes42a- 4b show more details on the actual costings of each of the scenarios.Table 4.2 shows the three different scenarios and the projected financing gap for PEDP III.Table 4.2: Projected Costs of different PEDP III Scenarios and the Financing Gap2011/12 2012/13 2013/14 2014/15 2015/16Total Scenario 1 747,056 925,109 1,108,496 1,004,861 1,022,328Financing Gap for Scenario ITotal Scenario 2 533,282 669,524 767,485 722,001 739,272Financing Gap for Scenario IITotal Scenario 3 394,663 554,444 633,672 599,877 615,457Financing Gap for Scenario III4.4 Str<strong>at</strong>egies for Addressing the Funding GapThe funding gaps for PEDP III are clearly significant. The Government has learnt lessons fromimplement<strong>at</strong>ion of the previous PEDPs. PEDP I <strong>wa</strong>s funded through a pooled fund arrangementwhich came to an end in June 2006. PEDP II <strong>wa</strong>s mainly funded through the n<strong>at</strong>ional budgetwhich included General Budget Support (GBS). Both were not fully funded. Taking into account


ANNEX 1:PEDP III Logical Frameworkthe experience learned from the two previous programmes, in implementing of PEDP III, theGovernment in collabor<strong>at</strong>ion with Development Partners, Non-St<strong>at</strong>e Actors and communities willcontinue to mobilize resources to address the challenges in the pre-primary and primaryeduc<strong>at</strong>ion sub-sector and in accordance with the outlined priorities, objectives and str<strong>at</strong>egies.The Government has committed to continue focusing resource alloc<strong>at</strong>ion to the educ<strong>at</strong>ion sectorwhich is one of the n<strong>at</strong>ional priority areas in poverty reduction as indic<strong>at</strong>ed in the N<strong>at</strong>ionalBudget, Annual Public Expenditure Review and the Medium Term Expenditure Framework(MTEF) which transl<strong>at</strong>e NSGRP into fundable and implementable activities. Efforts will be madeto ensure th<strong>at</strong> <strong>at</strong> least 20% of Government resources will be alloc<strong>at</strong>ed to the educ<strong>at</strong>ion sector with<strong>at</strong> least 60% of the educ<strong>at</strong>ion sector budget alloc<strong>at</strong>ed to the pre-primary and primary educ<strong>at</strong>ionlevels.The Government will also explore opportunities for further funding from both internal sourcessuch as priv<strong>at</strong>e companies, and external sources such as its current Educ<strong>at</strong>ion DevelopmentPartners, potential new Development Partners and other bil<strong>at</strong>eral partners. In addition theGovernment will make efforts to improve the internal efficiency of the system and to ensure th<strong>at</strong>all resources are used most effectively.
