THE Tanzania Media Women’s Association (TAMWA) has launched a new documentary focused on promoting inclusive quality education for public school students in Dar es Salaam

The documentary aims to enhance access to quality and inclusive education for children and raise community awareness about the importance of enrolling children in school on time, particularly those at risk of dropping out.

Sylvia Daulinge, TAMWA acting director, and strategic manager shared the information during a press briefing about the six-month project.

Titled: “Pamoja Tudumishe Elimu” (Together We Sustain Education), the initiative is funded by the international NGO We World under the “Education Above All” initiative.

“This documentary offers an in-depth analysis of the challenges faced by marginalized groups, including girls, children with disabilities, and those from low-income families, while providing solutions to ensure they receive an education,” Sylvia said.

The documentary features the voices of children, parents, teachers, civil society organizations (CSOs), and government officials, initiating discussions on the barriers preventing these groups from accessing quality education.

Sylvia emphasized the need for policies and strategies that support vulnerable populations, such as girls, children with disabilities, and those from marginalized communities. Improving the school environment is essential for helping these children thrive in their education.

She further said that collaboration is crucial for representing the unique challenges faced by children in different contexts, thereby providing a comprehensive picture of their right to education and the obstacles they encounter.

Dr Rose Reuben, TAMWA director added that every child deserves quality, inclusive, and equitable education for the betterment of society as a whole.

"By breaking down barriers, we can create opportunities for all children to thrive. Let’s work together to prioritize education in all our endeavours. Together, we can build a better tomorrow," Dr Reuben stated.

She called on all education stakeholders—including parents, teachers, community leaders, NGOs, and government officials—to collaborate in addressing the obstacles that prevent children from attending school.

"This documentary serves as a roadmap for how we can collectively ensure that every child receives the quality education they deserve," Dr Reuben concluded.
