Shaping Tanzania’s future with inclusive and quality education

On 24 January 2025, Tanzania joined the global community in marking International Day of Education, a day to recognise education’s power to transform lives. This year’s theme, “AI and Education: Preserving Human Agency in a World of Automation”, invited reflection on how technology and human skills can intersect to drive progress. In Dar es Salaam, the Aga Khan Education Service, Tanzania (AKES, Tanzania) leads the way in demonstrating how inclusive, high-quality education can shape resilient, innovative and ethical leaders prepared to face both local and global challenges. AKES, Tanzania operates two schools in Dar es Salaam, providing nursery, primary and secondary education to over 1,000 students. These schools are committed to equipping learners with 21st-century skills that are vital for navigating the complexities of life in a rapidly evolving city like Dar es Salaam.
