The Tanzanian government just released the postings for all
of the recent university graduates who now hold teaching degrees and this past
week was “reporting week”. The government
just increased their education budget again which means that all over Tanzania
public school are getting more teachers.
Kafule was high on the list because of our already small staff and the
fact that next month the school is planning on adding form V classes which will
mean 50-100 more students. So we were
assigned 4 new teachers!! Only 2 have arrived so far (and I was reminded that
just because we are assigned 4 teachers by no means guarantees that we will get
4 new teachers) but I am still hopeful that the other two will come. The new teachers will be teaching Swahili,
History and Civics. So unfortunately no
new math teacher, it had been really fun to welcome new members to our staff
and to give back some of the incredible hospitality that I received when I
first arrived.
