Introduction

The NECTA Form Four 2024 results for Agriculture have officially been released, and only a select number of schools across Tanzania have demonstrated outstanding performance in this critical subject.

Agriculture remains a backbone of Tanzania’s economy, and excelling in this subject indicates a school’s commitment to practical agricultural education, sustainability, and food security. The results reflect the increasing emphasis on agricultural studies, with some institutions standing out as national leaders in preparing students for careers in agribusiness, environmental conservation, and modern farming techniques.

Only One School Achieved Grade A in Agriculture

This year, only one school, Kibaha Secondary School, managed to achieve Grade A (Excellent) in Agriculture. This means that nationwide, just one institution met the highest standard in agricultural education.

What Does This Mean?

• Limited agricultural excellence: Despite agriculture’s importance to Tanzania’s economy, few schools have mastered teaching the subject to the highest standard.
• Room for improvement: More investments are needed in agricultural education, practical training, and advanced farming techniques.
• A wake-up call for policymakers: Schools must integrate modern agricultural technology into the curriculum to ensure students are well-equipped for the industry.
