Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office – Regional Administration and Local Government (PMO-RALG), Reuben Kwagilwa, has urged parents, guardians, and religious leaders to prioritize children’s education, saying it is the most valuable legacy they can leave.
Speaking on March 19 during an Iftar at his home in Kwenjugo, Handeni Town, in the final ten days of Ramadan, Hon. Kwagilwa highlighted the importance of schooling in a rapidly growing nation.
“Tanzania’s population is approaching 70 million, yet land remains limited. In our meetings across the country, 80 percent of citizens’ complaints relate to land. This is why the best legacy we can give our children is education,” he said.
He noted that recent policy reforms have integrated Form Four education into the basic education system, meaning children are legally expected to study at least up to Form Four and continue further.
Hon. Kwagilwa also thanked Handeni residents for their strong support of President Samia Suluhu Hassan in the October 2025 elections a trust that saw him elected as their MP and appointed Deputy Minister in PMO-RALG responsible for education.
