WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE PROJECT

These are the views of the people who have interacted with the project so far.

Mr. Ali Khamis Juma – Principal Secretary, Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (MoEVT, Zanzibar)

There is a huge mismatch between the skills young people have vs. the ones needed to get jobs. ADAPT initiative will lead us into the right path.

Zaida Mgalla – Immediate Former Executive Director, Uwezo Tanzania

It is important to track uptake of the assessment data by government stakeholders. There is need to engage government stakeholders in every step of the ADAPT implementation so that they can achieve the objectives, to make sure that our education system ensures learners are equitably assessed.
