DODOMA
Regional Commissioner (RC) Jordan Rugimbana has banned all public primary
schools heads across the region from asking parents for financial
contributions, advising that anyone approached for a contribution should report
the matter to the authorities. The RC made the directive during an impromptu
visit at Chadulu Primary School in Ipagala ward following complaints from
parents over frequent requests for contributions, saying the school should
refund those parents. The ban comes after complaints from parents who were made
to contribute up to 5,000/- for water, education service, exam fees for
Standards Four and Seven pupils before they sat for their national
examinations.

Mr Rugimbana said any school in need of financial support should
inform the district or regional authorities to get permit for such
contributions, saying schools in Dodoma, in particular, should inform municipal

Programme - plans to introduce irrigation schemes in three villages to enhance
food security within the district. Chamwino district council director Athumani
