Summary: | The Service Delivery Indicators (SDI)
provide a set of metrics for benchmarking service delivery
performance in education and health. The overall objective
of the indicators is to gauge the quality of service
delivery in primary education and basic health services. The
indicators enable the identification of gaps and tracking of
progress over time and across countries. It is envisaged
that the broad availability, high public awareness and a
persistent focus on the indicators will mobilize
policymakers, citizens, service providers, donors and other
stakeholders for action to improve the quality of services
and ultimately to improve development outcomes and social
welfare. This report presents the findings from the
implementation of the Service Delivery Indicators in the
Education sector in Tanzania in 2014. Survey implementation
was preceded by an extensive consultation with Government
and key stakeholders on survey design, sampling, and
adaptation of survey instruments. Pre-testing of the survey
instruments, enumerator training, and fieldwork took place
in 2014. In conclusion, comparing the 2010 and 2014 SDI
surveys, one clearly notices that Tanzania has made
substantial progress in some areas, but there are still
remaining gaps. Also, the achieved progress is from a very
low base and there is still quite a bit of room for the
Tanzanian education system to deliver quality to its pupils
and get them prepared and equipped to face competition in
the national, regional, and international labor markets. |
