MIAKA SABA SHULE HAINA MWALIMU WA HESABU

Wakati serikali ikiwa imeunda tume ya kuchunguza chanzo cha matokeo mabaya ya kidato cha nne kwa mwaka 2012, zipo sababu nyingi zinazoonyesha dalili za awali za majibu yatakayoletwa na tume hiyo mara baada ya kukamilika kwa uchunguzi wake.

Hivi karibuni yalitangazwa matokeo ya watahiniwa wa kidato cha nne kwa mwaka wa masomo wa 2012 na kuonyesha ya kuwa 60.1% ya wanafunzi waliofanyamtihani huo walishindwa kufikia vigezo vya kuendelea na masomo. Hali hiyo ilionekama kama kuishitua jamii na wadau wa Elimu nchini.

Pamoja na kuwa na walimu wengi waliopo vyuoni na hata wale walipangiwa vituo vya kazi shule ya sekondari ya Buigiri iliyopo katika Wilaya ya Chamwino haijawahi kupangiwa mwalimu wa hesabu kwa mika saba sasa. Hali hii imesababisha kuwepo na mwenendo wa kusuasua katika somo hilo, kwani imelazimika kwa shule kuajili walimu wa muda wa kuweza kutoa msaada wa Huduma hiyo kwa wanafunzi wake.

Akiongea na Marafiki wa Elimu Dodoma (MED) katika ofisi yake Makamu Mkuu wa shule ya Buigiri sekondari Mwl. Razalo Njamasi alisema ya kuwa tatizo la kutokuwa na mwalimu wa hesabu katika shule yake ni la muda mrefu ambalo  mpaka sasa hawajapangiwa mwalimu wa hesabu katika shule hiyo, ‘Tunalazimika kutafuta mwalimu wa muda kwa ajili ya kusaidia watoto wetu lakini serikali kama serikali haijawahi kutupangia mwalimu wa hesabu na tuna mwaka wa saba sasa tangu shule hii imeanza kufundisha’, alisema mwalimu Njamasi.

Aidha tatizo la kutokuwa na mwalimu wa somo hilo linalounganisha masomo ya sayansi limeonekana kama kuwa ni janga kwa wilaya ya Chamwino limeikumba pia Shule ya sekondari ya Chamwino ambayo yenyewe ina mwalimu mmoja tu wa hesabu ambaye hutoa huduma hiyo kwa zaidiya wanafunzi 472, hayo yalibainishwa na Mkuu wa shule hiyo Bwana Fedinand Komba alipokuwa akitoa taarifa fupi juu ya maendeleo ya Mradi wa Haki zangu Sauti yangu mradi unaoendeshwa na Shirika la Marafiki wa Elimu Dodoma kwa ufadhili wa shirika la kimataifa la Oxfam GB ya Uingereza tawi la Tanzania.

Bwana Komba alibainisha kuwa kwa kawaida mwalimu hupaswa kuwa na vipindi 40 kwa muhula lakini kutokana na tatizo la uhaba wa walimu analazimika kuwa na vipindi visivyopungua 60 kwa muhula, kitu ambacho kinamfanya hata yeye mwalimu mwenyewe kushindwa kuwamudu wanafunzi wote kwa wakati,’badala ya kufundisha vipindi 40 mwalimu huyu analazimika kufundisha vipindi zaidi ya 60 kwa muhula kitu ambacho inakuwa si rahisi kwa mwalimu huyu kuwamudu wanafunzi kwa wakati’, alisema mwl. Komba.

Lakini pia pamoja na hayo yote katika shule nyingi kumeonekana kuna changamoto ya kutokuwa na walimu wa masomo ya sayansi kama vile katika masomo ya Chemistry na Physics kitu ambacho kwa mujibu wa baadhi ya walimu walidai inasababishwa na kutokuwa na vifaa vya kufundishia kwa vitendo katika maabara za shule.’walimu wengi wanashindwa kuja kwanza unakuta vifaa vya kufundishia hakuna na kama unavyojua masomo haya mwanafunzi anapaswa kujifunza kwa vitendo zaidi kuliko kusiliza na kuandika tu’, alisema mmoja wa walimu wa Sekondari ya Chamwino.

Kuna haja kwa serikali kukaa na kujipanga upya katika kuhakikisha ya kuwa mgawanyo wa walimu unazingatia na uhitaji wa masomo yanayokuwa hayana kabisa walimu tena kwa kuyapa kipaumbele masomo ya sayansi ambayo mara nyingi ndio huonekana wanafunzi wengi hawafanyi vizuri katika mitihani yao ya mwisho kwenye masomo haya.

It SEVEN YEARS SCHOOL TEACHER OF NUMBERS

With the government has created a commission to investigate the cause of the poor performance of the fourth form in 2012, there are many reasons that show early signs yatakayoletwa response to the commission soon after the completion of the investigation.

Recently they were announced the results of Form Four candidates for the academic year of 2012 and show that 60.1% of students who fanyamtihani it failed to reach standards continue. Ilionekama situation as kuishitua communities and stakeholders in education.

Along with having many teachers who are scholars and even those were allocated work stations Buigiri school situated in District Chamwino has not been assigned the teacher of mathematics for seven mika. This situation has been the sluggish trends in this subject, since the school has been forced time for teachers to provide such support services for its students.

Speaking to the Friends of Education Dodoma (MED) in his office Senior Vice secondary school Buigiri Mwl. Razalo Njamasi said that the problem of being a teacher of mathematics in schools is a long-term, which   until now they have not planned a teacher of mathematics in the school, 'We must find a teacher's time to support our children but the government if the government has not been predestined teacher of mathematics and we are in the seventh year now since school started teaching', said the teacher Njamasi.

Furthermore the problem of lack of teacher subject linalounganisha science is seen as a disaster for the district of Chamwino limeikumba also High school Chamwino which itself has only one teacher of mathematics who provides such services to zaidiya students 472, these were identified by the General Lord of the school when she was Fedinand Komba brief on the progress of my project i Hak My Voice project run by the Friends of Education Organization Dodoma funding international organization Oxfam GB UK branch of Tanzania.

Lord Komba noted that usually the teacher should have periods of 40 per semester but due to shortage of teachers has to be periods visivyopungua 60 per semester, something that makes even her teacher myself failing kuwamudu all students at the time, 'instead of teaching periods 40 This teacher is forced to teach more than 60 periods per term thing that it is not easy for the teacher to pupils kuwamudu this time, 'said Mwl. Komba.

But also with all that in many schools has proved a challenge of lack of teachers of science subjects as well as in studies of Chemistry and Physics something that according to some teachers claim is caused by lack of teaching materials work in a laboratory school . 'many teachers are unable to come first materials found there, and as you know these lessons students should learn to practice more than just listened and wrote,' said one of the teachers of Secondary Chamwino.

There is a need for the government to sit and restructuring to ensure that the distribution of teachers is based on the need to study yanayokuwa not have quite the teachers back to give priority science that often is seen most students do not do well in their exams last on these subjects.
