About VSO
VSO is the world’s leading independent international development organisation
that works through volunteers to fight poverty in developing countries. Our
high-impact approach brings people together to share skills, build
capabilities, promote international understanding and action to change lives
and make the world a fairer place.
Role overview
Tanzania has recorded good progress in achieving universal education for
all children. Yet despite increasing enrolment rates, the quality of education
remains weak, retention is poor, and less than half of students pass the
Primary School Leaving Exam. In the project area, Muleba district, the pass
rate is even lower: only 26%! The average teacher to student ratio is around
1:55 and motivation among teachers is low. Findings from the Uwezo survey 2011
have shown that seven out of ten pupils in standard III (aged 9-10) are unable
to read basic stories and solve simple arithmetic problems. In Tanzania, this
level is called ‘standard 2 level’, the level that all pupils in group 3 should
be able to master. Even many children, especially in rural areas, leave primary
school without being able to read and count at this basic level.
Following the above, VSO Tanzania established a partnership with education
institutions found in the Kagera region, to implement the project namely Raise
Income for School Education - RISE. As part of the project implementation plan
the project will enrol a Project Manager and M&E Advisor. She/he will
manage the project implementing partners and ensure the project meets its key
indicators and enhance the Institutional capacity.This project is supported by
funding from The Netherlands.
