The Aga Khan University in Tanzania conducted a study entitled "Strengthening Teaching and Raising Achievement in Pre-primary and Primary Schools" (STRAPPS) in Newala District. The project followed a holistic approach involving schools, communities, teachers and government officials working together to positively impact education. Evidence from the study showed that parental involvement improves student learning which means good grades, improved social skills and behaviour as well as parental confidence in the children’s education.
