TIVO CLUB
While school leaders, government agencies and educational stakeholders are aware of the significance of 21st century skills to children’s development, pressure from parents make it hard for schools to deliver them effectively. Most of parents trust monthly, terminal and annual examinations as a sole measure for their children development. They consider less inculcating 21st century skills to their children. This leads to under-development of 21st century skills among the children making them unprepared to solve critical challenges. It is in this light that Tanzania Inclusive Vision Organisation (TIVO) has established TIVO CLUB with the aim of supporting schools to promote 21st century skills among the learners in primary and secondary schools in Tanzania https://tivo.or.tz/client/tivoclub .

Writing skills are
essential for any person to develop into professionalism, for personal life
record and ideas expression. However, many people are not good writers because
they lacked motivation to write when they were young. The following are ways
how TIVO Poster will promote 21st century skills to
children in primary and secondary schools;
- Improve learners’
ability to communicate through writing
Writing is a
primary way we gather information, interact and connect with others. Improving
child’s written communications allows him/her to confidently communicate with
everyone.
ii.
Shape learners’ impression through writing
Writing is often the first
impression that others can have of you. People often read your writings before
meeting you face to face. TIVO POSTER influences children to minimize errors,
have organized and complete thoughts through writings so as to exploit the
acceptance of their intelligence and characters.
iii.
Influence superiors to offer what learners want
We often communicate in order to request
something. If the one reading your request cannot fully understand or locate
what you need from them, you are likely not to get your request fulfilled. TIVO
POSTER aims to develop children with ability to present acceptable requests.
iv.
To equip learners with essential job skills
Improving writing helps one to
become a better communicator and it also improves ones reading ability, which
is another essential job skill. TIVO POSTER aims to improve children’s writing
ability so that they may become bloggers, website content developers, article
writers etc.
v.
To promote learners’ critical thinking.
Disorganized writing could indicate that one’s thinking is disorganized. If a writing is not fully developed, it could indicate that someone has not fully developed the thoughts. Therefore, improving children’s writing skills improves both the ways children think about a topic and discuss it with others.
