Preface
The Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (MoEVT) has, since
1985 been publishing annually the statistics booklet named Basic
Education Statistics in Tanzania" (BEST). In 1992 a second booklet
containing data at regional level was introduced. This second
booklet is intended to make available to our users more data and in
greater details as demanded by them. This booklet contains
education data at national level for the medium level range of five
years that is from 2009 to 2013.
In a bid to avail our users with up-to-date information, efforts have
been made to collect, process and publish current data effectively
from 2004. This development does not only make people more
informed but also facilitates better planning for the education
Sector. This publication provides basic indicators on the whole
Education Sector namely, pre-primary, primary, secondary, teacher,
adult and non-formal, folk, vocational, technical and higher
education.
This booklet has information on student enrolment, teachers,
examination results, school inspection and vocational training. It
also provides some education indicators considered important to
users and those for Education for All (EFA) and Millenium
Development Goals (MDGs).
For further improvement of this booklet, the Ministry welcomes
views from our data users and all education stakeholders so as to
further enrich this publication. These data can also be obtained from
the ministrys website: http://www.moe.go.tz/statistics.

System and Structure of Education and Training

The structure of the formal education and training system in Tanzania
is 2 7 4 2 3+, that is; 2 years of pre-primary education (year 1
and 2); 7 years of primary education (Standard I-VII); 4 years of
secondary ordinary level education (Form 1- 4); 2 years of secondary
advanced level education (Form 5 and 6) and 3 or more years of
university education. The official school attending age ranges from 56 for pre-primary, 7-13 for primary, 14-17 for lower secondary, 18-19
for upper secondary and 20-24 for university education.

Methodology
Data presented in this publication is that of education levels under
the jurisdiction of MoEVT, PMO-RALG and MCDGC. These include preprimary, primary, secondary, teacher education, adult and nonformal education, technical and vocational education and universities
and university colleges.
Education data is collected through annual census of education
institutions using questionnaires designed specifically for the
purpose. Data on Pre-Primary and Primary education is collected
through questionnaires sent to schools to be filled from school
records and returned to District Education Officers (DEOs) for
aggregation. Data on Secondary, Teacher Education, Technical,
Vocational and University education is collected directly from the
respective Institutions. Data on Population is obtained from the
National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) while that on examinations is
obtained from the National Examination Council of Tanzania (NECTA).

In order to meet publication deadline, specific reference dates have

been set. The reference date for Higher education and Technical and
Vocational Training is 15th February of every year. The reference date
for data collection in Pre-Primary, Primary, Adult and Non-Formal,
Secondary and Teacher Education is 1st March of every year.
However, since the second selection of students is carried out after
1st March data reported in this publication does not take into account
changes resulting from the second selection exercises. Thus, the data
presented in this publication is that of actual enrollment in secondary
school for Forms 1 to 4 as at 1st March and Forms 5 to 6 as at 15 th
August.

Note: In 2013, a total of 6,505 teachers out of 12,377 (52.6%) are Qualified Teachers giving a PQTR of 1:158 against the standard norm of 1:25. The

situation is worse in government streams where PQTR is 1:199 compared to 1:35 for Non-Government Schools. In previous years, the number of Pre
Primary teachers was including teachers who teach both Pre-Primary and Primary Schools, but this year only teachers with Pre-Primary Education
Specialization were reported in order to avoid double counting.
