Thank you so much for this insight its shocked to see the rate of drop out in Tanzania.
You are doing a great job, thank you.
Since the classes with the largest number of students who dropped out of school are standard four and form two, it is reasonable to assume that the main reason is failing standard four and form two examinations. What would be the other reasons.
This is very helpful. Very important information.
