Final EdTech Founders Meetup of the year!
Takeaway: AI can transform Tanzania’s education, but only with context, the right data, and responsible use.
Opportunities: scale, predictive analytics, teacher collaboration.
The way forward: national awareness, strategy & clear AI guidelines.
"The solution is to create an education system that connects universities, the govt, and private sector, that is where young people will gain practical skills, learn to think creatively, and ultimately become self-employed" @Afruturist
