Transcript of Excellent Teaching! High Discipline! Success for All”
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Education is not only a process of giving knowledge for
future job but also a lifelong process which creates an
understanding of moral and ethical values to guide one’s
life on a right path. As a parent, you want the best for
your child and we are proud to be working with you to
ensure that they are given the right knowledge to face the
future challenges. Parents, students and the school
authorities are a team and we have to complement each
other’s efforts.
“If a plant is carefully nurtured by a gardener, it will grow
well, and produce better fruits.” Therefore, children must
be given good training from their early childhood. We are
here for the same. I am sure that our students of today will
carry forward the motto of love and unity besides
contributing positively towards the society.
“Do the work with intention not because of
compulsion.” With all my love, best wishes and
blessings.
Excellent Teaching!

Every child is special in our school and we believe that
education begins by nurturing & it is a continuous process.
Besides well equipped classrooms ,we have extensive
facilities to support learning such as multipurpose hall,
basketball court, volleyball court, swimming pool and
playground in our school. A variety of extra-curricular
activities and clubs are seen as an integral part of the
school.
We offer practical education so as to create future scientists
through our well-equipped biology, physics and chemistry
laboratories. In addition to the theoretical knowledge,
students get real practice and get to learn by touching, seeing
and experimenting.
There is an ICT laboratory with the intention of producing
knowledgeable students in science, technology and
modern innovation. Our computer laboratory serves as the
starting point of this life long journey.
In order for our students to have exposure, we are arranging
various trips (field trips, educational trips & tours etc.)
within the country. CURRICULUM
The school offers competence-based curriculum in line
with formative evaluation. We implement the Tanzania
National Curriculum. The school encourages learning by
doing which helps students to understand and apply what
they learn. The following subjects are offered: Basic
Mathematics, English Language, History, Geography,
Civics, Kiswahili, Biology, Physics, Chemistry,
Commerce & Book-Keeping.
DIGITAL TEACHING AND LEARNING
We at Burhani school have planned to go for Digital learning for Form I from the Academic year 2022 and henceforth.
An android tablet which will be available at school for each student is a key requirement for the same. More so, the tablet
has inbuilt learning content and it’s customised in form of the quest forward learning program which is widely used by
secondary schools in Tanzania and internationally. The tablet will serve as a substitute for textbooks therefore the students
will not have to buy them except commerce and Book-keeping which have not been included in the program but shall be
intensively covered using learner-centered teaching approach & teaching through technological Aids like smartboard &
smart Tv.
SCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURE
We envision to have a beautiful, supportive and friendly environment to allow learners from different backgrounds to learn
in a conducive environment therefore we ensure that a good infrastructure is our top priority.
We have supportive infrastructure such as Physics, Chemistry and Biology Laboratories with modern apparatus and
equipments, Library with different kinds of books, Computer Laboratory and modern classrooms. Currently, We are about
to finish the construction of our modern canteen which will be able to accommodate all students and teachers.
ADVANCED LEVEL SECONDARY EDUCATION
We started to offer Form V programme this year, July 2021 with Five
Combinations:- PCM, PCB, CBG, ECA and HKL. Admissions are still
open for students to join for Form V and VI. We have a very conducive,
flexible as well as friendly environment for students to learn and grow.
Parents and Guardians are welcome to Burhani School to seek admission
for their children in Advanced Level.
ONGOING ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION
The quality of education provided in Burhani School can be measured by the academic achievements of Secondary
students in School Exams and National Exams. At Burhani we have various assessment and evaluation tools which intend
to measure and evaluate learners in term of academic achievement. The tools are as follows:-
TOPICAL TESTS: This is a Test-Teach-Test approach where the students are tested at the end of the topic in order to
check their comprehension of the underlying concept of the topic.
MONTHLY TESTS: We conduct monthly tests to evaluate our students for all Form I, II, III, IV and V. This has
immensely assisted in improving student’s performance and building a sense of competition among themselves.
INTER CLASS EXAMS: We conducted interclass exam between Form IV and Form II. All students secured good grades
and divisions.
Besides these evaluation tools, we conduct midterm, terminal, mock, pre-mock, pre-national as well as annual exams. The
exam papers are set based on the NECTA Format, competence and reflect the formative evaluation.

and management for making the event successful.
We conducted a special programme for career guidance
and counselling on 16th July 2021, to create awareness
among the students regarding scope of different fields &
tertiary programs. The programme was facilitated by
Dr. Lucian, a lecturer and researcher at university of
Dodoma. It helped our students to understand different areas
of study and how to accomplish their dreams.
Teachers need ongoing training in order to become
more effective, and cope with the rapid changes of the
world, specifically in teaching and learning. We
conducted a special in-service training for our teachers
on 17th July 2021. The training focused on teaching
and learning methods which reflect the competence
based curriculum. Teachers had an opportunity to share
their experiences with the facilitator (Dr Lucian) on how
teaching has to be in the 21st century.
This is a programme which aspires to build a generation of innovators and change makers through hands on learning
and implementation of the same for the betterment of the community by conducting various scientific experiments.
The programme started at our school in August, 2021. Students are involved in testing and prototyping and developing
various scientific projects under Burhani Science club supported by Robotech labs ltd.

STUDENTS’ MEETING
DEBATE SESSIONS AND SUBJECT CLUBS
Extra-curricular activities are very important for all round
development of students. We organize debate sessions in
each class, where students discuss on various contemporary
issues. This helps them to broaden their thinking capacity
and develop speaking skills. In this term, Form I N & S
competed on the debate with the motion stated
“KISWAHILI LANGUAGE SHOULD BE USED IN
ALL ASPECTS IN TANZANIA”. Form I N won the
competition. Congratulations to all the participants.

and N wrote on the topic “CONTRIBUTION OF
INDUSTRIES TO THE ECONOMY OF TANZANIA”

not only in core-curriculum but also in writing.
FORM IV GRADUATION CEREMONY
We care and listen to our students’ challenges and needs in
our school. Students are given an opportunity to discuss on
different issues during students meeting. The meeting is
chaired by the Head Girl and the Head boy. This helps to
solve their concerns and enable them to effectively
concentrate on studies. We allow students to conduct
meetings twice per term.
PARENTS’ MEETING
A Parent-Teacher Meeting for Form II and IV classes
was held on 11th September, 2021 to discuss the
performance of students with their parents. Parents were
given feedback on their children’s performance in the
Pre-national exam.
It was a great interaction between the teacher and the
parents for the development of their children where they
discussed both the strengths and areas of improvements.
The progress report was shown to the parents, and their
suggestions were noted. Any sign of a child failing to
make progress, regardless of whether they are in the
lower, middle or higher range is questioned and
addressed.
The PTM came to an end with the conclusion that joint
effort, mutual understanding and co-operation of parents
and teachers are very important for the improvement
and progress of students.
