IDADI ya watahiniwa wa darasa la saba watakaoanza kufanya mitihani ya Taifa ya kuhitimu elimu ya msingi kesho (Sept 6-7) katika Mkoa wa Iringa imeshuka tofauti na mwaka 2009.


Mwaka huu kuna upungufu wa wanafunzi 6,740 ukilinganisha na watahiniwa 51,433 waliofanya mtihani huo mwaka uliopita ambao kati yao wasichana walikuwa 26,879 na wavulana 24,534.


Wakati kwa mwaka huu, mkoa wa Iringa unatarajia kuwa na watahiniwa 44,693 ambapo kati yao wasichana ni 23,438 na wavulana 21,255.


Afisa Elimu wa mkoa wa Iringa, Salum Maduhu aliiambia Nipashe juzi kuwa upungufu huo wa wanafunzi umesababishwa na shule nyingi kuandikisha wanafunzi wa darasa la kwanza wakiwa na umri wa kati ya miaka sita na saba tofauti na miaka ya nyuma .


“Upungufu huu unatokana na Halmashauri zote mkoani hapa, kuandikisha wananfunzi wa darasa la kwanza wakiwa na umri wa kwenda shule ambao ni kati ya miaka sita na saba tofauti na ilivyokuwa miaka ya nyumba ambapo waliandikishwa hadi wa miaka 11”, alisema.


Aidha,Maduhu alisisitiza kuwa kwa wasichana ni vema wakaandiskishwa wakiwa na miaka sita ili wengi wao wapevuke wakiwa na wamemaliza elimu ya msingi jambo ambalo litasaidia kupunguza tatizo la mimba mashuleni.

REO noted that last year candidates who sat for same examinations were 51,433 of which 26,879 were girls and boys were only 21255.
He pointed out the shortfall was a result of net enrolment whereby only children between six (6) and seven (7) year to start standard one unlike the previous year where children enrolled even with 11 years (primary school attendance of compulsory enrolment) which raised increased the enrolment rate.
However, it seen that there are more girls than boys doing examinations in that last year they were 26,879 girls and boys were 24,534, and this year 23,438 girls and boys 21,255 respectively, it has been observed.


Furthermore, REO said it is better that girls start school as ealier as possible because they mature faster that boys hence minimize teenage pregnancies in school.


On that note, the national electoral commission (NEC) has suspended the political rallies for two days (6th -7th) to allow pupils to sit for standard seven national examinations.


According to the director of elections Rajabu Kiravu, the decision reached after discussions between NEC and political parties to let pupils conduct their exams in calm environment.
