The University of Dar es Salaam, through the College of Natural and Applied Sciences (CoNAS), has established a programme to support teaching of Mathematics, Physics, Biology and Chemistry in selected secondary schools in Tanzania. This programme, which is known as Mathematics and Science Teaching Support Programme (MSTSP), was established after realizing that some schools in the country face a critical shortage of teachers in these subjects. The implementation of this programme began in 2021 in four selected secondary schools in Dar es Salaam region, and later on more schools are expected to be included. The four schools which are currently supported by the programme are Manzese secondary school, Mugabe secondary school, Salma Kikwete secondary school and Yusuf Makamba secondary school.
