DISSERMINATION OF PROJECT FINDINGS TO MoEST

Recognising the need for research to produce practical impact, the MATH4SDG project organised a visit to the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology (MoEST) in Mji wa Serikali, Mtumba, Dodoma on 19th September 2025. The purpose of the visit was to present key PhD research findings that can support evidence-based improvements in mathematics education. The team shared results on the use of ICT-based instructional materials designed to enhance student engagement, understanding, and self-learning. They also presented strategies for managing large classes effectively through structured pedagogical methods and improved classroom organisation. Discussions with the Ministry explored the practicality, scalability, and potential integration of these findings into national curriculum processes. The visit further allowed the project to collect feedback on feasibility, challenges, and the support required for wider adoption.
