The government has instructed district executive directors, district and regional education officers and heads of schools to ensure that funds provided by a non-governmental organisation, Camfed, is spent on education matters only.

Addressing journalists on Tuesday in his office, the Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, Regional Administration and Local Government (PMOLARG), Kassim Majaliwa, said the government has come up with a mechanism to track down all funds directed into education to ensure that it would get to where it was intended to go.

He said the government has already started making efforts to ensure that it controls the money and ensure that girl children are supported as per original intentions.

He said that some of the heads of schools who were noted to have misused the money would be taken to task including being suspended and demoted.

"For example, former head teacher of Nyamisati and his colleague of Kibiti, we realised that they did not spend the money in areas that were directed," he said.

Furthermore, the Deputy State Minister said already the government has prepared good grounds on which Camfed can undertake its works properly to help and support education in the country.
