Deputy Minister, Mwanri said Tanzanian education has been dropping because of some teachers and invigilators who give answers to pupils.

“This habit has been costing the government, some pupils go into secondary level without knowing even how to read and write. The government cannot tolerate this bad behaviour.” Mwanri said.

He said in order to improve Tanzanian education all education stakeholders should not agree with few people always think on finding ways of stealing exams instead of preparing pupils and students to be confident in tackling questions.

STD 7 pupils will sit for their final examinations on 19^Th and 20^Th September, 2012.
