Unavailability of relevant, affordable, reliable, ease to
access and interactive digital learning contents for
learners in secondary schools in Tanzania and across
East Africa.
The Problem
IMAGINE: The students to book ratio in Tanzania
secondary schools is 1:3 , meaning three students
shared one book, Yet in other schools students use
just teachers copies of notes. This has been
influenced greatly by High Cost of printed Books.
