The Primary School Leaving Examination (Tanzania) (PSLE) is a primary education examination that is done by Standard 7 students (7th grade) across Tanzania and serves as the secondary school entrance exam. The exams are usually administered between late June to early or mid-August and are managed by the National Examinations Council of Tanzania (NECTA). Students are required to obtain three credits to pass the exams.[1] Critiques of the PSLE include the inability to reflect the abilities of students often found with examinations, with a particular twist given Tanzania's rising primary attendance and graduation rates:[2] Further, the PSLE is conducted in English, which provides significant institutional barriers to Limited English Proficiency (LEP) students in a country where between 120 and 164 languages are spoken,[3] the lone national language is Kiswahili, and English integration in Tanzanian daily life has been far less successful than in other former British colonies in East Africa, like Kenya.
