Championing Teacher Development

We know that teachers bring education to life by imparting knowledge and providing children with the essential tools to learn and thrive.

“Teachers are key to reaching education goals for all children, especially the poor and vulnerable.”

In Tanzania there is a significant disparity in teachers’ skills between urban and rural areas. Recognising this, Kamitei consistently makes substantial investments in teacher professional development, which has proven to be a significant catalyst for enhanced student outcomes. These investments equip teachers with innovative teaching strategies, updated content knowledge, and improved classroom management skills.

For over a decade, Kamitei has provided training, coaching, and incentives to teachers in rural primary schools. Our field education officers visit these schools monthly to observe classes and meet with headteachers, teachers and our teaching interns.

Our Teaching Internships

We offer teaching internships to newly qualified teachers who have not yet obtained employment in the government system. Recruiting the right individuals, then training and supporting them throughout the roll out of our professional development program is changing the education landscape in rural Tanzania.
