Unable to get online

So, we have now been in Tanzania (Dodoma) for four days and visited eleven schools - a mixture of primary and secondary schools.  The challenges facing the teachers here are pretty big!  
  • Class sizes in Primary Schools have not been less than 60 per class teacher - one school had over 105 children in EVERY class
  • Many of the schools have no electricity or running water
  • The children have to travel long distances to get to schools
  • Basic resources, like desks and text books are scarce
Having said that, we have been encouraged to hear teachers talking about developing 'more effective methodologies', one headteacher talking about developing leadership qualities and the role of partnerships in developing teams of good teachers.

Unfortunately, I am unable to upload our videos and pictures as the internet has gone down at our hotel, so giving a brief update from the nearby internet cafe.  More asap.
