In an era where environmental challenges are becoming more pressing by the day, educating the next generation about sustainability has never been more important. Across Tanzania, schools are stepping up to the task, integrating eco-consciousness into their curricula and inspiring students to take action. One institution leading this movement is the Aga Khan Education Service, Tanzania (AKEST), which is equipping its students with the knowledge and skills needed to make a tangible impact on the environment. The Chief Executive Officer of the Aga Khan Education Service, Tanzania, Dr Shelina Walli, highlighted the importance of prioritising children in sustainability initiatives. “Our country is filled with young people, and they are already leading by example. By placing students at the forefront of sustainability efforts, we are fostering habits that will benefit their communities for generations,” she explained.
