Role of School-Based Energy Supply and Conditional Cash Transfer Projects in Improving Primary Education: Case of Losimingori Primary School Project in Monduli District in Tanzania

Abstract

Abstract
This is a descriptive paper to report on the role of school-based energy
supply and conditional cash transfer projects in improving primary
education in primary schools. Educational components included in the
analysis are learning motivation among pupils and their attendance
rate. Literature review, real time data analysis, surveys, and interviews
were employed as appropriate research methods for this study in which
both pupils and teachers were the subjects. Findings show that the
motivation for education through the supply of energy was found to
improve attendance. Second, the number of runaway students decreased
due to battery charging time. Third, the teaching-learning time was
stabilized through the digital attendance management system. Fourth,
self-study time increased due to solar battery lighting. In addition to
improving attendance rates, stabilizing teaching-learning time, and
improving self-study time at home, it is recommended that studies
on the relationship between academic achievement and the system
satisfaction of parents and children should continue.
