Consolata is the deputy head teacher at Maji Maji primary school in Nachingwea, Tanzania. She has been a teacher for 19 years. She now creates lesson plans that are more active, so that her students can learn by participating in class, instead of rote learning.
“I believe with a better education, they are able to lay the foundation for change,” she says. “Both in their lives... and for the whole of Africa.”
Through an Aga Khan University (AKU) training programme, she learned new leadership skills and updated teaching techniques.
AKU trained more than 3,700 preschool and primary school teachers like Consolata, making their classrooms a richer place to learn and grow.
"What I have realized in my 19 years of teaching, is that Aga Khan University has a very strong system of follow-up… they try to come back and find out whether the intended goal actually reached the intended beneficiaries." Consolata Muganda, deputy head teacher, Maji Maji Primary School, Tanzania.
