After much anticipation, the National Examinations Council of Tanzania (NECTA) has finally rereleased the Form Two National Assessment (FTNA) results for 2021. This comes after a series of delays and controversies surrounding the initial release of the results in September 2021.
What is the FTNA?
The FTNA is a standardized test that all form two students in Tanzania must take. The test is designed to assess students’ understanding of core subjects such as Mathematics, English, Swahili, Science, and History. The results of the FTNA are used to place students in appropriate streams for their form three and four studies.
Why were the results rereleased?
The initial release of the FTNA results in 2021 was met with widespread criticism from students, parents, and teachers. Many people alleged that there were errors in the marking and grading of the exams. NECTA was forced to investigate these allegations and eventually decided to rerelease the results after making some adjustments.
What has changed in the rereleased results?
NECTA has not released a detailed list of the changes that have been made to the results. However, the council has said that the changes are minor and that they will not have a significant impact on the overall distribution of grades.
What do the rereleased results mean for students?
For students who were unhappy with their initial results, the rereleased results may offer a second chance. Students who believe that their grades were unfairly low can apply for a remarking. However, it is important to note that the remarking process can be time-consuming and expensive.
What does this mean for the future of the FTNA?
The rerelease of the FTNA results is a reminder of the importance of accuracy and transparency in the assessment process. NECTA needs to take steps to ensure that such errors do not happen again in the future. The council should also consider working more closely with stakeholders such as teachers and parents to develop a more reliable and fair assessment system.
Conclusion
The rerelease of the FTNA results is a positive development for students who were affected by the errors in the initial release. However, it is important to remember that the FTNA is just one measure of a student’s ability. Students should not define their worth by their exam results. There are many other ways to be successful in life.

I would also like to add that it is important for students to seek support from their teachers, parents, and friends if they are feeling stressed or anxious about their exams. There are many resources available to help students cope with academic pressure.
