Proposal to Discuss Relocation of Ilala Primary School Under Mkwawa University

TLDR

• The Mayor of Iringa, Ibrahim Ngwada, has rejected a proposal to increase school fees for English medium schools, including Ilala Primary School, from 300,000 to 500,000 Tanzanian Shillings per year.
• Ngwada stated that the fee increase had not been approved and that the matter should return to legal council meetings for proper discussion.
• The council also discussed the proposal to relocate Ilala Primary School under Mkwawa University, raising concerns about the ownership of the land.
• Ngwada suggested that Mkwawa University has sufficient land, over 600 acres, to potentially build a new school instead of relocating Ilala Primary School.
• He emphasized that his concerns were not against the council's decisions but were focused on the proper use of resources for the benefit of the community.
