In Tanzania, secondary School science students find it difficult to visualize and connect the theories which are taught in classes with actual activities done in real environment. Even when the students come out to the street environment to find the opportunity to interact with actual staffs demonstrating the theories learnt in the class, the environment doesn’t favor girls to benefit from it.
All of this is caused by Lack of enough tools in Tanzania secondary schools to back up theories with practical understanding as a resultScience subjects have always been labeled as ‘Boys Subject’ and leading to Small number of science subjects takers in secondary school with little motive and low performance especially in government schools. Also students who perform well in exams turn out to be incompetent due to lack of practical knowledge.
