OVERVIEW OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE POST
Background and Justification
Tanzania was close to achieve universal primary education enrolment in 2014. However, 13% of the children did not manage to complete primary level (93% girls and 86% boys). In addition, challenges are found in the transition from primary to secondary where 45% of girls and 60% of boys do not progress from primary to secondary education. This brings the percentage of children that have less than or equal than primary education to a staggering of 68%. Further, a number of children do not attend school due to various reasons including poverty, long distance from home to school and negative social-cultural norms. Children out of school in Tanzania was reported at 17.65 % in 2018 (World Bank) hence do not acquire the necessary foundational skills.
Given this challenge, children do not succeed in acquiring the necessary foundation[1] skills. The Literacy rate among the population aged 15 - 24 years in Tanzania was recorded to be 87.01% for males and 84.64% for females (UIS, 2015). Based on these statistics, a large number of population lack these skills. Traditionally, literacy has been considered a set of reading, writing and counting skills. This is exacerbated by the digital world, which calls for new and higher-level competences (Ms Irina Bokova, 2017) in order to build more inclusive, equitable and sustainable societies.
It is in this regard that UNESCO Dar es Salaam in collaboration with the Institute of Adult Education established 4 ICT Based Literacy Centres in Mkoani, Kasulu, Sengerema and Ngorongoro Districts. Six hundred and thirty eight (638) out-of-school adolescent girls and young women were enrolled in and completed literacy and numeracy classes in 2020 through both conventional and ICT based approaches. The second ICT based literacy cohort intake planned for 2021 will adapt approaches that ensures sustainability of the centres. We are therefore looking for an expert to draw a sustainability strategy for UNESCO.
