Abstract

The secondary school education system in Tanzania is undergoing significant reforms aimed at improving educational outcomes. A DID analysis was employed to measure the effect of the reform interventions, with pre- and post-intervention data collected from a sample of secondary schools across Tanzania. The results indicated an adoption rate of 75% among participating schools, with a statistically significant increase in student performance scores by 20% post-reform (95% CI: 10%, 30%). The difference-in-differences model provided robust evidence for the effectiveness of the educational reforms. Further studies should explore the sustainability and scalability of these reform measures in different regions of Tanzania.
