By our Correspondent, Kigamboni
A private world class boarding secondary school has been established in Kigamboni District, one of Dar es Salaam Region’s new districts.
The Director of Ihsan Islamic Secondary School, Dr  Hashim Saiboko,  told journalists who visited the school here yesterday that the school has been established in a bid to contribute to the government’s  turn round endeavours that seek to give Tanzanian pupils world class quality education.
He said the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Vocational   Training, is playing its part, adding that it is important for school managements play a very supportive role to the government so that Tanzania can have citizens with world class education.
Dr  Saiboko said “We have invested heavily in this school.  The primary aim for starting this school is to address professionally and eliminate the gaps in the current syllabus to allow Tanzanians pupils and students access world class quality education.”
The two-year old co-education school, with multiple ways of teaching, has some 120 students, who are also trained in farming and animal rearing.
Mr Saiboko said every class has 30 students but the school has 40 computers for students’ use, a smart board, that eliminates the traditional blackboard, projectors, servers and an advance e-library.
“The interactive smart board you see over there enables the teacher to save the notes; it allows students to access them later on in form soft copy. Further, the teacher can use the saved material to make revision and amplify further the subject anytime for the good of students.  We have computers that outnumber the students too,” he said.
The School’s Academic Master, Mr Yusufu Ramadhani, told journalists that the school admits pupils with a minimum 50 percent pass mark in all standard seven subjects, adding that emphasis is on the fact that of necessity a pupil must have not less than 20 percent in mathematics. “Technically a pupil who has 20 out of 50 percent can be taught and become a good student who can join tertiary institutions,” he explained.
Apart from uplifting Tanzania’s level of education, Mr Ramadhani said, the school offers parents who send their children abroad an alternative good choice. “We want to give parents more that what they get abroad and at affordable cost.”
