“Investing in Tomorrow’s Labour Force is a timely report. It gives us an opportunity to take stock of where Zanzibar stands today & foster a healthy, well-nourished, well-educated, and empowered future child population ”- @ShaliniBahuguna speaking at the launch of the report.
#DidYouKnow To improve key education outcomes for #Zanzibar’s student-to-teacher classroom ratios to the levels identified under International and National policy targets, the Government will need to hire an additional 4,631 teachers.
Quality education is key 🔑 #ForEveryChild
