In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of effective teacher training in improving educational outcomes across Africa. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, including pre- and post-training assessments, focus group discussions, and classroom observations to measure changes in teachers' instructional practices and students' learning outcomes. Teachers reported increased confidence in applying new teaching methods after the programme, with a significant improvement noted in student engagement rates from baseline measurements. The preliminary findings suggest that the innovative training programmes are effective in enhancing teacher efficacy and student participation, albeit within a short timeframe. Further longitudinal studies should be conducted to assess long-term sustainability and impact of these initiatives. teacher training, Tanzanian border regions, educational effectiveness
