Nurture children talents, Tanzanian parents urged

Genesis Schools’ company manager Joachim Jovin, made the call yesterday when speaking in Dar es Salaam during one-day innovation exhibition that involved few selected primary school pupils. The showcasing event was part of the preparation for the upcoming open exhibition to be held by June 30, this year. The proposed exhibition will include all pupils and parents are expected to attend.

According to Jovin, the aim of that exhibition is to compliment government’s efforts of nurturing children’s talents and make them to self-reliant and be able to create their own employment in future.

“So, it is high time for parents to recognise children’s talents because everyone has, and always the talent starts from early age,” he said.

“To us, we believe that every child counts, every moment matters. We support our pupils to reach their talents and show it by giving them chance to brainstorm which project and title that can manage him or to do practically.”

“Here in our school in every June, we prepare an open exhibition and anyone can participate to see how our children prepares their own projects,” Jovin said.

According to him, early recognition of children's talents will help them to fulfill their dreams and becoming competent in different fields in the future.

He added: “We promote society to recognise the talents of their children even at home and us, as guardians, teachers through lessons in the classes and practice will develop those talents.”

The academician also said the best pupil who will do better and show good idea and project, in that exhibition will get a prize including study sponsorship and trophies.

Jovin said that prizes will be in three categories including Best Research Model, Best Model and Overall Winner, who will get trophy and discount of school fees.

One of the pupils Marcus Mmbaga, has designed a sample of robot folk lift that if developed will be used in future Tanzanian industries.
