He said council leaders in their respective areas have a duty to ensure they establish special evening classes, as is done for examination classes, to help these pupils acquire reading, writing, and arithmetic skills. He said according to reports, 3,001 pupils from Standard One to Standard Three in Njombe Region can neither read, write, nor compute, which poses a grave danger to the future of those children. He requested the Uwezo Tanzania organisation to assist with costs that will enable the Njombe regional administration to organise special classes to support pupils who cannot read, write, or count. He said the project also aims to reach illiterate adults in Njombe Region, although arithmetic instruction will not apply to them. She said this is the fourth phase of the project, implemented in Njombe Region due to data presented by Regional Commissioner Anthony Mtaka showing local pupils struggle with basic 3R skills.
