"As a young person, you're either in or running the system. If you're outside, you cannot change it. You cannot shy away from political leadership or demanding accountability. The political class will continue taking advantage of young people who stay out of the system—we must be involved. Who is that contractor building #SHA? Why is 2.5% being deducted unfairly? If you’re not in the system, you can’t ask these questions!" – Hon. Njeri Maina at #PDF2025. #FormNiDialogue

📢 Teacher incentives are driving real learning gains for students in Tanzania! When teachers are recognized and rewarded for their impact, students thrive. Through the #KiuFunza initiative, supported by the Hempel Foundation, 1,300 teachers in 265 primary schools across 11 regions have received performance bonuses - because their students improved foundational reading and math skills by 22% and 24%, respectively. The teachers enhanced foundational reading and math skills for over 78,000 young students. This evidence-based approach is showing that motivated teachers lead to better learning outcomes, higher student engagement, and stronger pass rates. As Aidan Eyakuze, Executive Director of Twaweza East Africa, puts it: "Of course, we need good classrooms and enough desks and books, but we must remember that we also need motivated teachers. KiuFunza proves that a simple teacher incentive system can grow from 100 schools to almost 300 across Tanzania and produce very strong learning effects." 📚 Investing in teachers is investing in students' futures.
