two years after the previous assessment. The general pattern of results is consistent with the findings from previous evaluation rounds.

In other respects, however, the results show no overall improvement on 2015 and highlight the country&#8217;s ongoing challenges in providing quality education for all children.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lffd0yg3-26796584e14cdec7ee459c56dfcb7f78\">\n.flex_column.av-lffd0yg3-26796584e14cdec7ee459c56dfcb7f78{\nborder-radius:0 0 0 0;\npadding:20px 20px 20px 20px;\nbackground-color:#f7f7f7;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-lffd0yg3-26796584e14cdec7ee459c56dfcb7f78 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lffcgf1q-3c8ab3e9b233b7e73d64f1120e069efd\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-lffcgf1q-3c8ab3e9b233b7e73d64f1120e069efd{\nmargin:0 0 5% 0;\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-lffcgf1q-3c8ab3e9b233b7e73d64f1120e069efd .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-lffcgf1q-3c8ab3e9b233b7e73d64f1120e069efd .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-lffcgf1q-3c8ab3e9b233b7e73d64f1120e069efd av-special-heading-h4  avia-builder-el-6  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h4 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Reading and writing skills in Kiswahili have improved<\/h4><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lffcgrez-9343f88474f36643290b2d40f4af62af '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The proportion of children in Standard 3 who can read a short story in Kiswahili more than doubled between 2011 and 2017.

is one of Twaweza&#8217;s flagship programs<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twaweza.org\/\" target=\"_new\">(www.twaweza.org)<\/a>. It conducts the largest citizen-led assessments of children&#8217;s learning outcomes in three countries in East Africa: Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The aim of the Uwezo learning assessment is to monitor and establish the actual level of learning outcomes in literacy and mathematics among children aged 6-16 years in East Africa. Tanzania is among the African countries committed to achieving quality education for all in line with the Education For All goals, focusing on improving the quality of education and ensuring excellence in literacy, mathematics and basic skills (EFA 1990, UNESCO 2000, UNESCO 2009), which was also emphasized in the Sustainable Development Goal on Education (SDG4). The Uwezo learning assessment allows us all to know whether the investments (funds, manpower) in providing quality education services to children are yielding the desired results. By generating robust evidence on reading and math rates among school-aged children, Uwezo assessments provide invaluable data for public and policy discussions on education.     <\/p>\n<p>Citizen volunteers are at the heart of the Uwezo learning assessments. Citizens are not only seen as consumers but also as knowledge generators. Uwezo engages partner organizations in the districts to coordinate assessment activities in selected districts in all regions of mainland Tanzania. In return, the partner organizations recruit 60 volunteers per district to collect data from 30 villages. In each village, 20 households are visited and, with parental consent, all children aged 6 to 16 in these households are assessed. Data is also collected on school performance indicators from an elementary school attended by most children in each area. In this way, Uwezo generates locally relevant data through individuals and organizations in the community, leading to local ownership and engagement with the results.      <\/p>\n<p>In 2017, Uwezo Tanzania conducted the sixth learning assessment in 56 districts of mainland Tanzania. The assessment was conducted in 1,677 enumeration areas selected by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and reached 25,532 households. About 48,530 children aged 6 to 16 years were assessed in literacy and numeracy skills.  <\/p>\n<p>The core objective of the Uwezo assessment remains the collection of independent data on actual proficiency levels in literacy and numeracy among school-age children. Given the rapid pace of policy reform, the need for rigorous data to monitor the impact of education programs, policies and budgets on learning outcomes, particularly in light of the renewed global and national focus on the quality of education, is evident. The assessment also captures a range of indicators of learning environments and factors that may be associated with learning outcomes, such as the socio-economic status of households, the educational attainment of parents, parental involvement in their children&#8217;s education and the rate of school inspections for quality assurance.  <\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s results must be interpreted in the context of the changes resulting from the implementation of Tanzania&#8217;s new education and training policy of 2014. The policy stipulates that children enrolled in the first year of elementary school from 2016 will receive ten years of free, compulsory basic education: six years of primary education and four years of secondary education. The policy also includes the gradual rollout of one year of compulsory pre-school, lowering the age of entry into primary education from seven to six years, shifting the teaching of English from Grade 1 to Grade 3, and moving to a more intensive focus on Kiswahili in Grades 1 and 2 through the teaching of the 3Rs (reading, writing and arithmetic).
