Tanzania’s school partnership builds participation through teachers

An IPC interview examined an NPC Tanzania project supported by UK Sport to introduce sport to schoolchildren with disabilities.

An IPC interview examined an NPC Tanzania project supported by UK Sport to introduce sport to schoolchildren with disabilities. The work combined teacher training, equipment, competitions and improvements to playing areas, beginning with three schools before expanding. NPC leaders described plans to reach additional regions and develop talent and school sports leadership. Published in December 2011, the interview documents how a national committee used an international partnership to create practical opportunities for children, rather than reporting a competition result.
