• The first year medical student at Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (Muhas) does not take her success  for granted. She knows any other Tanzanian girl can excel and meet their dreams if the requisite conditions are created for them from early on in their schooling life.

Dar es Salaam. Ms Lucy Mallya has already tested success in her academic pursuits and yesterday added to the silver lining by receiving  a monetary token for her record as Tanzania’s leading female performer in chemistry in the 2013 form six national examination  results.

The first year medical student at Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (Muhas) does not take her success  for granted. She knows any other Tanzanian girl can excel and meet their dreams if the requisite conditions are created for them from early on in their schooling life.

She readily shared her experience at the award ceremony yesterday where she was among those who were awarded as a motivation by the ministry of health and the office of the government chemist to recognise and encourage those who want to pursue science-related field to help curb a big shortage of such cadres of human resource in the country.    

According to Ms Mallya, providing adequate learning materials in schools is one of the means to encourage students in secondary schools pursue science subjects and aspire for higher education levels. She said apart from her own efforts, the schools she went to were well equipped and supportive for those pursuing science courses. She was a student at Marian Girls in Bagamoyo.

She said most of the schools,  especially public ones,  lack important tools,  including laboratories, apparatus and chemicals for practical learning. “It is upon the government to ensure that before a school is opened, learning essentials are provided,” she said. “Some people have a notion that science subjects are hard, but all this is because of inadequate learning equipment and well trained science teachers, hence making the  learning environment even harder for pupils. But if the government decides to provide all these,  more pupils will opt for science,” she said.

On the other hand, she said science is vital for the nation’s development, but poor learning environment adds to inadequate personnel produced.

Prof Samwel Manyele, the government  chemist, said the awards given to a total of 24 best form four performers in chemistry in 2011/12 and 2012/13 and form six pupils of 2012/13 and 2013/14 are meant to encourage more pupils join science courses and help the government raise more human capital.

He said, however,  that the plan to train more professionals should go in hand with the installation of working tools, including DNA test machines, for which so far,  the whole country depends on the headquarters. According to him, this delays the results and sometimes has caused unnecessary suffering to the suspects whose cases require DNA tests.

“We now have plans to have DNA samples preparation machines in various parts of the country to speed up  the tests and release the results on time. However, resources have been delaying the process given the high  cost of purchasing the machine;  so it  is the government that should make the purchase,” said Prof Manyele.

WALIMU WAFUKUZWA KAZI KWA KUSHIRIKI NGONO NA WANAFUNZI

Mkuu wa Shule ya Sekondari Mwembetogwa, Kevin Mlengule

SHULE ya Sekondari ya Mwembetogwa ya Mjini Iringa imepongezwa na wadau wake baada ya hivikaribuni kuwafukuza kazi walimu wanne wa kiume waliobainika kuwa na mahusiano ya kimapenzi na wanafunzi wao wa kike.

“Tunataka shule nyingine ziige mfano wa shule hii, tumefarijika kusikia imechukua uamuzi huo na kwa kufanya hivyo tunaamini shule hiyo itakuwa salama kwa watoto wetu wa kike,” alisema mmoja wa wazazi wenye watoto wanaosoma shuleni hapo, Joachim Mwaikambo.

Mwaikambo alisema katika kipindi cha miaka mitatu iliyopita, kumekuwa na mabadiliko makubwa katika shule hiyo ambayo wanafunzi wake “tuliozoea kuwaona wakizurula mitaani wakati wa masomo.”

Naye Jacob Basil aliupongeza uongozi wa shule hiyo akisema; “unadhibiti nidhamu ya wanafunzi na watumishi wake jambo linalotupa faraja wazazi wenye watoto shuleni hapo.”

Akitetea uamuzi huo, Mkuu wa shule hiyo, Kevin Mlengule alisema pamoja na walimu hao shule iliwafukuza wanafunzi wa kike wawili waliobainika kukubuhu kwa ngono.

Alisema walimu na wanafunzi hao, walibainika kujihusisha na vitendo vinavyobomoa maadili ya watumishi na wanafunzi baada ya kura ya siri kupigwa dhidi yao.

“Katika kuboresha nidhamu kwa watumishi na wanafunzi wawapo shuleni jambo moja lililokuwa linatusumbua na tukaamua kulitafutia dawa kali ni la mahusiano ya mapenzi kati ya walimu na wanafunzi, na wanafunzi na watu wa mitaani,” alisema.

Alisema miaka mitatu iliyopita lilikuwa ni jambo la kawaida kwa wanafunzi wa kike kujihusisha katika mapenzi na walimu wao pamoja na watu wengine kutoka mitaani.

Hali hiyo ilipelekea baadhi ya wanafunzi wenye tabia hiyo kufuatwa “na wanaoitwa mabwana zao” shuleni muda wowote na kutoroshwa.

Alisema hali hiyo ilichangia kuporomosha taaluma shuleni hapo na kufanya matokeo ya wanafunzi wanaomaliza shule hiyo kuwa mabaya kwa muda mrefu.

Mlengule alisema matokeo hayo yaliwafanya baadhi ya wazazi kuwahamisha watoto wao kutoka katika shule hiyo na kuwapeleka shule nyingine.

“Shule ilikuwa na wastani wa wanafunzi wa kidato cha kwanza hadi cha sita 2,500 kila mwaka, matatizo hayo na mengine yaliyokuwepo yaliifanya ibakiwe na wanafunzi wasiozidi 600.” Alisema.

Alisema katika kukabiliana na utovu wa nidhamu; “hatuna mzaha hata kidogo, mwalimu na mwanafunzi atakayebainika akijihusisha na ngono katika mazingira yoyote yale wote kwa pamoja tunawafukuza.”

Aliwataka wazazi waliohamisha wazazi wao shuleni hapo kutoihofia tena hali hiyo kwani imedhibitiwa vya kutosha.

Gang storms bank with bags of stones in aborted robbery

• The robbers posed as wealthy clients with a huge amount of money that they wanted to bank in a wicked move to rob the Stanbic bank branch in Kariakoo before the plot blew up

Dar es Salaam. Attempts by armed robbers to fool bank employees using black bags filled with stones backfired on Sunday when a hawk-eyed staffer blew the whistle on them.

The robbers posed as wealthy clients with a huge amount of money that they wanted to bank in a wicked move to rob the Stanbic bank branch in Kariakoo before the plot blew up.

They were, however, lucky to escape a police dragnet and are now being hunted down. Yesterday, the Dar es Salaam Special Zone police commissioner Suleiman Kova narrated to journalists the drama that unfolded inside the bank.

He denied social media reports that on the material day the robbers escaped with Sh70million. “They did not steal anything but grabbed a small unknown amount of money from a customer who was being served at the counter,” Kova said.

He said the robbers arrived at the bank located at Swahili street in a vehicle and three of them entered the bank pretending to be customers who would like to deposit a huge amount of money in bags.

He added that the security man at the bank assisted them to carry one of the bags into the bank but upon entry they tried to force entry to the secret room, saying they had a large amount of money to deposit. “They refused to use the counters arguing there was no way they could do that for their own security and that of their ‘money.’

The regional police boss narrated that in the ensuing exchange of words between the robbers and staff at the bank it was suspected that they were not normal customers and that was when a security alarm was pressed.

“Upon hearing the alarm the robbers started running out of the bank due to the loud sound outside, leaving their bags behind. One of them went to the teller’s window and snatched cash from a customer who was about to make a deposit,” he said.

Outside the bank the robbers started spraying bullets aimlessly to scare people who were surrounding the bank as they made their escape and left their bags behind.

The bags were then searched and they were found filled with concrete stones which the police said were meant to cheat the bank’s security men.

This is the second bank robbery incident this year as in April more than Sh500 million was stolen at Barclays Bank Kinondoni branch.

In three other incidents - one at the end of last year and two early this year - armed robbers have made off with a total of Sh1.45 billion from three different banks
