Vice-President, Dr Emanuel Nchimbi, said major reforms made in the education sector in Zanzibar and Tanzania as a whole have produced many positive results, including a substantial rise in student enrolment across various learning levels. "Significant investment in the education sector and modern infrastructure across both governments is expanding educational and employment opportunities," he said. Other positive outcomes include improved teaching and learning infrastructure, which has contributed to higher pass rates in national examinations. Zanzibar Minister for Education and Vocational Training, Ms Lela Mohamed Mussa, said the increase in such dormitories reflects how education is expanding. Providing technical details, the director of secondary education, Ms Asya Iddi Issa, said the hostel has a capacity to accommodate 280 students at a time across 12 rooms.
