Muhtasari
- Since its development, the technology has been introduced in more than 50 public and private schools, with adoption progressing faster in private institutions because of more flexible procurement systems.
- For decades, science teaching in many Tanzanian schools has relied heavily on theory.
- At the centre of this effort is the Mugana Solar System Teaching Device, developed by Tanzanian inventor Boniphace Rutta, founder of African Invention Company.
- Despite growing interest, expanding the technology into government schools remains a challenge.
- New teaching equipment must undergo formal approval and procurement processes before it can be adopted nationwide, slowing the spread of innovation.
