Equity and Quality Learning for all Children

Strategic Focus

We advocate for Government to develop and implement evidence-based policies that promote accessibility, equity and inclusive quality education in a friendly an protective environment.

Evidence Generation

HakiElimu generates evidence of the learning and teaching environment in Tanzania through research, policy and budget analysis, and by piloting innovative initiatives. Some key recent studies:

  • Magnitude of Violence Against Children in School and barriers to prevention.
  • Factors that hinder and facilitate best performance in national examinations.
  • Girls Basic Education in Tanzania: a focus on factors that affect Girls’ Retention and Transition Rates.
  • An Assessment of the Learning and Teaching Environment for Pre-Primary education in Tanzania.
  • An Examination of Learning and Participation of Visually Impaired Students in Inclusive Schools.
  • Impacts of implementing the fee free education policy.
  • Review of Education and Training Policy: The Education We Want.
  • Policy and Sexual & Reproductive Health & Rights Education in Primary and Secondary Education in Tanzania.
  • The Political Economy of Early Childhood Development in Tanzania Mainland.
  • Reintegration of Teenage Mothers into Formal Secondary Schools in Tanzania.

Government Engagement

We use evidence to develop policy and budget recommendations for government. We engage government through the established local education dialogue structures such as Education Sector Development Committee (ESDC), Technical Working Groups (TWG) and Annual Joint Education Sector Review (AJESR) to advance core HakiElimu agenda in equity and quality of learning.

Creating National Awareness

HakiElimu produces evidence-based media campaigns targeting both citizens and policy makers with messages and calls to action. We utilize a number of platforms including publications, IVR, SMS, television, national and local radio, and social media.

Testing What Works

HakiElimu initiates and pilots innovative interventions to stimulate supportive and effective classroom learning strategies and teachers’ professional development, specifically in learner-centred teaching and inclusive education to enable practicing teachers to become reflective practitioners to search solutions to the actual learning problems. HakiElimu innovations in selected schools provide proof that "another world is possible''.
