FOREWORD

The Form Two National Assessment (FTNA) plays an essential role in evaluating students' educational progress at the Ordinary Secondary Level in Tanzania. This booklet presents the formats for the FTNA for General Education Stream, which will be assessed with effect from 2026. The formats are designed to align with the 2023 syllabi issued by the Tanzania Institute of Education (TIE) with effect from 2025. These formats signify a pivotal shift from content-based assessment to a competence-based approach, focusing on the Education and Training Policy of 2014 and the Curriculum for Ordinary Secondary Education Form I - IV of 2023 (General Education).

This shift ensures that the assessment not only measures academic knowledge but also evaluates students' ability to apply learned concepts, communicate and collaborate, engage in critical thinking, and demonstrate practical skills in various real-life situations. The comprehensive assessment structure outlined is aimed at nurturing well-rounded learners equipped with the essential skills for further education and life beyond school.

The format for each subject includes an introduction, main competences, an assessment rubric, competencies to be assessed, and a Table of Specifications. Generally, this format booklet is expected to provide guidance to examination setters, moderators and teachers in setting fair, valid and reliable assessments for students. Moreover, the format provides guidance to students on the structure of the assessment paper. However, classroom teachers are strongly cautioned not to replace the syllabus with the presented assessment formats.

The National Examinations Council of Tanzania (NECTA) remains committed to its mission of delivering credible and holistic assessments that contribute to the nation's education excellence.
