CONVENTION PARTICIPANTS

Participation is open to anyone working in the education sector in Tanzania. This includes any level from pre-schooling age to university level; private, public and international schools; specialist schools and educational support workers.

It is recommended that two people from any given organisation apply to attend to ensure there is a team of supported individuals working to implement change and improve practice within your organisation.

Places will be allocated based on merit, and to ensure the greatest breadth of involvement throughout the sector.

Due to the limited number of places, interested participants need to notify their DEO or notify the convention organisers. Participant lists will be finalised mid September 2021.
