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.

We are turning more teachers into better educators.

For over a decade, Kamitei has provided training, coaching, and incentives to teachers in rural primary schools. Our field education officers visit these schools regularly to observe classes and teaching practices, and provide professional guidance.

We collaborate with school and community leaders to ensure our primary school support program is results-oriented and rooted locally.

OUR TEACHING INTERNSHIPS

The Kamitei Internships for Teaching Excellence program (KITE) offers teaching internships to recently qualified teachers who have not yet obtained employment in the government system and are eager for professional development. Recruiting the right individuals from rural areas, then training and supporting them with our Teaching Development Framework is changing the education landscape in rural Tanzania.
