In June 2024, HakiElimu, in collaboration with the Friends of Education, organized a two-days training session to 60 Friends of Education from Geita, Babati, Ukerewe, Tabora, and Mpwapwa on the fundamental knowledge of Social Accountability Monitoring (SAM) and about the National Strategy for Inclusive Education (NSIE). The training aimed at broadening citizen’s understanding of critical issues in education and monitoring mechanisms so as to increase their engagement in promoting transparency and accountability particularly in the implementation of Inclusive Education at both school and community level.
Following the training, HakiElimu will facilitate the Friends of Education to carry out SAM on the implementation status of NSIE and share their findings to education stakeholders in their respective districts. This initiative is intended to foster learnings and improve the implementation (practice) and coordination of NSIE at school and community level.
