Dar es Salaam. Tanzania is set to introduce a centralised information system that will collect, coordinate, and analyse all education-related data, marking a major shift in how educational statistics are managed and accessed across the country.
The new system—spearheaded by the ministry of Education, Science and Technology—is expected to simplify access to critical information across all levels of education, including data from private schools and universities, which has historically been scattered or unavailable.
