DID YOU KNOW?

MWANAFUNZI mmoja tu kati ya wanafunzi wote 17 waliofaulu darasa la saba mwaka 2012 katika shule ya msingi Njenga iliyopo kilometa 80 kutoka mjini Tunduru mkoani Ruvuma ndiye aliyejiunga na masomo ya sekondari ya Nalasi kidato cha kwanza mwaka huu .

Utafiti uliofanyika katika shule hiyo umebaini kuwa mwamko wa elimu katika kijiji hicho ni duni kwa kuwa wanafunzi wengi wanaofaulu shule hiyo ya msingi hawajiunga na masomo ya kidato cha kwanza hali ambayo inawakatisha tamaa walimu wanaofundisha katika shule hiyo.
Utafiti huo umebaini kuwa wanafunzi wengi wanaofaulu katika kijiji hicho cha Njenga wanashindwa kuendelea na masomo kutokana na mila na desturi za msondo,unyago na jando hali ambayo inasababisha wanafunzi wengi wa kike kupata mimba, utoro wa kudumu na wengine kuolewa.
Mwaka 2010 wanafunzi waliofaulu darasa la saba katika shule ya msingi Njenga walikuwa ni 41 kati ya hao ni wanafunzi watatu tu ndiyo waliojiunga na kidato cha kwanza na kwamba mwaka 2011 wanafunzi waliofaulu darasa la saba katika shule hiyo walikuwa ni 46 na waliojiunga na kidato cha kwanza ni wanafunzi saba tu.
Katika shule ya msingi Ruanda iliyopo katika kata ya Nakapanya wilayani Tunduru inaonyesha kuwa wanafunzi wote 26 waliofaulu darasa la saba mwaka 2011 katika shule hiyo hawajajiunga na kidato cha kwanza.
Kitendo cha wanafunzi wote waliofaulu kutojiunga na kidato cha kwanza kunadaiwa kuwavunja moyo walimu ambao walikuwa wanafundisha katika shule hiyo ya Ruanda hali ambayo imesababisha shule hiyo mwaka 2012 kutofaulisha mwanafunzi hata mmoja kwenda seondari.
Katika shule ya sekondari Malumba wilayani Tunduru waliopangiwa kuanza kidato cha kwanza msimu huu ni wanafunzi 149 lakini wanafunzi walioripoti hadi kufikia mwezi Aprili mwaka huu ni wanafunzi 48 sawa na asilimia 33.
Hata hivyo baadhi ya wadau wa elimu wamedai kuwa viongozi wa serikali za Vijiji wanastahili kubeba lawama huku wakiwataka viongozi kutochanganya elimu na Siasa kwa kuboresha mbinu za kufundishia na kuchukua hatua kwa Wanafunzi ambao wamekuwawakibainika kuchaguliwa huku wakiwa hawajui kusoma,kuandika na kuhesabu.
Mkuu wa shule ya sekondari Mgomba Elis Banda alishauri kupunguzwa kwa idadi ya vitabu vya kufundishia huku akiitaka serikali kutoa maelekezo ya vitabu vya kununuliwa tofauti na sasa ambapo kumekuwa na maelekezo ya kuwataka wakuu wa shule kutumia vitabu kutoka katika kampuni ya EMACK pamoja na Muingiliano wa sekula pia ni kikwazo katika elimu.
“Sasa walimu wanalazimishwa kusajiri watoto wote kufanya mitihani bila kuangalia wakati huo huku mamlaka zikiwataka walimu kuwafukuza watotowasiofika shule katika kipindi cha miezi mitatu na serikali ikihamasisha na kuwapeleka shule wanafunzi wa kidato cha kwanza waliochelewa kuripoti Shuleni ni kikwazo kingine ambacho kimekuwa kikiwafanya walimu kufundisha kwa kulipua na kuchangia kushusha kiwango cha elimu’’,alisema.

Mkuu wa Shule ya sekondari Lukumbule Mathias Katto anavitaja vikwazo vingine vinavyochangia kushusha taaluma wilayani Tunduru kuwa shule zao kutokuwa na walimu wa masomo ya Sayansi, maktaba na vifaa vya kujifunzia na kufundishia.
Wazazi na walezi wengi katika wilaya ya Tunduru wanadai kuwa watoto wa kike hawastahili kusomeshwa elimu ya sekondari kwa kuwa hawana faida yeyote zaidi ya kuolewa kwa madai kuwa wao ni kitega uchumi na wanatakiwa kuwahudumia wanaume kulingana na mila na desturi za kabila la wayao.
Afisa elimu sekondari wilaya ya Tunduru Ally Mtamila mebainishwa kuwa Mahusiano mabaya kati ya Walimu,wazazi,walezi na wanafunzi ni miongoni mwa vikwazo vya maendeleo ya elimu Wilayani Tunduru hali iliyosababisha Wilaya hiyo kupata matokeo mabaya kwa wanafunzi waliofanya mitihani ya Kidato cha Pili Nne katika kipindi cha mwaka 2011/2012 .
Mtamila amewaasa wazazi,walezi na walimu kushiriki katika usimamiaji wa Watoto wao kwa kufuatilia masomo ili waweze kuyapenda masomo na kukemea watoto ambao wanaacha kuzingatia masomo na kujiingiza katika vitendo vinavyorudisha nyuma maendeleo ya elimu wilayani humo.
Kwa mujibu wa tarifa ya maendeleo ya elimu ya wilaya hiyo mwaka 2011 matokeo ya Kidato cha pili yanaonyesha wilaya hiyo ilifaulisha kwa wastani wa asilimia 35, huku takwimu hizo kwa upande wa matokeo ya Kidato cha Nne katika kipindi cha mwaka 2012 zikionesha kuwa Wilaya hiyo ilifaulisha kwa wastani wa asilimia 59.4 kiwango ambacho kiliifanya Wilaya hiyo kushika nafasi ya mwisho katika mkoa wa Ruvuma
Mkuu wa wilaya ya Tunduru mkoani Ruvuma Chande Nalicho amekiri ya hali elimu inayotokana na mwamko duni katika wilaya hiyo ni mbaya hivyo kuchangia kushusha kiwango cha elimu ya msingi na sekondari.
Amesema wilaya hiyo kila mwaka inakuwa ya mwisho kitaaluma katika wilaya za mkoa wa Ruvuma ambapo kwa mwaka jana wilaya hiyo pia ilikuwa ya mwisho kwa kwa kupeleka wanafunzi wachache waliochaguliwa kidato cha kwanza ambao walichaguliwa walikuwa ni 2788 hata hivyo walioripoti hadi kufikiwa mwezi Aprili mwaka huu ni 1700 tu.
Utafiti uliofanywa katika baadhi ya shule za msingi wilayani Tunduru umebaini kuwa mwamko wa elimu katika maeneo mengi hauridhishi kwa kuwa wanafunzi wengi wanaacha shule kwa utoro,mimba na kuolewa kutokana na mila na desturi zinazoendelezwa na wakazi wa wilaya hiyo wengi wao wakiwa ni wa kabila la wayao.

LIL WAYNE'S CREW THE "CASH MONEY FAMILY" HAS JUST SIGNED PARIS HLTON

Lil Wayne's crew just signed Paris Hilton to a record deal ... and she's planning on dropping a brand new album in the very near future!!

Wayne's mentor -- Birdman -- confirmed the news on Twitter ... saying, "Lil Wayne's Cash Money family has a new member! Paris Hilton: RichgangRichgirl."
According to Showbiz411, Hilton's album will focus on house music -- no surprise, since she's been DJing at various clubs all over the world ... and training with some house music bigshots for years.
The album -- Hilton's first since 2006 -- will reportedly be produced by Afrojack ... and will feature bona fide stars like Lil Wayne.

Paris told Showbiz411, "[The new album] is a lot different than my first album. It's really going to be house music."

HEY CHRIS REMEMBER THIS?

Rihanna just gave ex-boyfriend Chris Brown a little taste of what he's missing ... her perfectly sculpted ass.

RiRi just posted an extreme close-up shot of her nearly bare derriere in shorts that are so tiny, her THONG is hanging out of 'em.

Rihanna added a caption saying the pic was from the set of her new music video ... but we think it's pretty obvious the photo was for an audience of 1 -- Chris ... who was recently spotted out with his other sometimes-GF Karrueche Tran (who definitely doesn't have an ass like Ri).

Think he's regretting the breakup yet?

MARIO GOTZE OUT OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL ON SATURDAY AGAINST BAYERN

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mario Goetze will miss Saturday's Champions League final against Bayern Munich due to a thigh muscle injury, the Bundesliga club said on Wednesday.

The versatile 20-year-old German international, who will join Bayern next season, was injured in the second leg of the semifinal against Real Madrid on April 30 and had been battling to get fit for the final at Wembley.

"That final was my goal, I've struggled hard to be fit in recent weeks and I am incredibly sorry for not being able to help the team in this important game," Goetze said on the Dortmund website (www.bvb.de).

"I will of course travel to London to support the guys."

Goetze stunned his colleagues when he announced at the beginning of the month, after both Borussia and Bayern had qualified for the Champions League final, that he was joining Bayern next season.

That raised the unusual prospect of him playing against his new club in the final, but the injury has ended that prospect.

Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said last week he expected Goetze to recover in time but the player trained with his teammates on Tuesday and complained of pain.

TAYLOR SWIFT,GOYTE AND RIHANNA KILLED IT AT THE BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS

Taylor Swift and her 3.7 million-selling "Red" dominated the 2013 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night (May 19), taking home eight trophies as Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" swept four major song categories and Rihanna ruled R&B.


Swift was honored as Top Artist, Top Female Artist and Top Billboard 200 artist in ceremonies held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas where awards were handed out in 45 categories, 10 of them on the ABC telecast. Swift received the night's top honor, Artist of the Year, as well as Top Billboard 20 Artist, Top Female Artist, Top Country Artist and Top Digital Songs Artist. "Red" was Tops in the Billboard 200 and country albums categories; her "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" was named Top Country Song.
"Thank you for making my music the soundtrack to your crazy emotions," she said in a thank you to fans after being named artist of the year. "You are the longest and best relationship I've had."
Prince, who performed a medley of his classic "Let's Go Crazy," Edgar Winter's instrumental "Frankenstein" and "Fix Ur Life Up," was given the Icon Award for a career that includes 10 platinum albums and 30 Top 40 singles.
Besides, Gotye, Rihanna was the only other artist to walk away with four awards, winning in the R&B artist, album and song categories, plus Radio Songs Artist. Madonna, Nicki Minaj and One Direction won three each while Justin Bieber, the late Jenni Rivera, Baauer and tobyMac secured two honors apiece.
"Somebody That I Used To Know," the single from Gotye and Kimbra that has sold 7.3 million downloads, won in the categories of Hot 100 Song, Rock Song, Radio Song and Streaming Song (Audio). Billboard Music Awards are based on data tracked between March 12, 2012 and March 10, 2013.
The Milestone Award, voted on by fans and sponsored by Chevrolet, went to Justin Bieber, who paused for about 20 seconds before speaking his mind about criticisms directed his way.
"I'm 19 years old, and I think I'm doing a pretty good job," he said before thanking his family, fans and Jesus Christ. "It should be about the music, about the craft. This is not a gimmick. I should be taken seriously."
The three-hour show, broadcast on ABC, featured 16 performances and included the TV premieres of Swift's "22" and the new single from Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull, "Live It Up." Bruno Mars and his band, decked out in matching crimson suits and black shirts, opened the show with his new single "Treasure."
Among the current Hot 100 singles performed were will.i.am and Justin Bieber doing "#Thatpower," Pitbull and Christina Aguillera's "Feel This Moment" with a guest solo from A-ha's Morten Harket, Icona Pop's "I Love It," and, set in kung fu movie motif, Chris Brown's "Fine China."
Nicki Minaj gave Lil Wayne a lap dance during "High School" and Miguel employed black & white and 3D imagery for his performance of "Adorn," one of many elaborately staged performances. His ended in scary fashion, however, when he landed on a pair of fans during a leap from the stage.
"The crazy thing is, when you're performing and you're just kind of into it, you never know where it's gonna go and where you're gonna go with it," Miguel told Billboard backstage. "And how that might turn out. So this is one of the less favorable moments."
There was also Icona Pop's "I Love It" performance and the announcement of "Red" as included an app-driven lighting effect on the phones of show sponsor Samsung. Kacey Musgraves and Ed Sheeran provided the evening's quieter acoustic moments

JUSTIN BIEBER BOOED AT THE BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS

Fifty-seven seconds. That's how much time elapsed between CeeLo Green announcing that Justin Bieber had captured the first-ever Milestone Award, presented by Chevrolet at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, and Bieber actually saying something into the microphone onstage at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. In between were some perplexingly uncomfortable seconds. After taking hold of the trophy, Bieber swayed toward and away from the mic, unsure whether or not to cut through the strangely divergent chorus of yelps that had greeted his latest stage appearance. The pop superstar had commanded the spotlight thrice before the Milestone Award was presented -- once to play his "Believe" track "Take You," then to take home the Top Male Artist award, and again to assist Will.i.am in his "#thatPOWER" performance -- without a whiff of negativity in the air. But when Bieber topped Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars toward the end of the ceremony, he quickly hugged manager Scooter Braun, casually strolled onstage from the front row, and fidgeted awkwardly as very loud cheers and very loud boos rained down upon him
