TANZANIA Bureau of
Standards (TBS) has imparted knowledge on standards to 10,757 students
from nine primary and secondary schools, an initiative that will...
enhance
awareness on goods with quality standards.
The event was part
of the weeklong celebrations to mark the International Standard Day last
week by engaging primary and secondary school students from three
regions of Dar es Salaam, Coast and Morogoro.
The International
Standards Day is celebrated to raise awareness among regulators,
industry and consumers as to the importance of standardization to the
global economy.
TBS Public
Relations Officer Ms Neema Mtemvu said the international standard day
was held on mid last month but TBS moved the event to the last week of
October to pave way for the commemoration of the death of the founding
father of the nation Mwalimu Julius Nyerere on October 14.
Some of the schools
that benefitted from the knowledge on standards provided by TBS are
Kayenzi, Kilakala, Kihonda, Chief Albert, Mwere A, Bungo from Morogoro
Region as well as Bundikani and Maendeleo from the Coast Region.
"This is an
important initiative for the TBS to enhance awareness on quality
standards to different groups of people in order to enhance awareness on
goods that meet the required standards," she said.
Ms Mtemvu urged
students to make sure they become good ambassadors in the society by
ensuring that they make use of goods with quality standard mark thus
doing away with fake and substandard products.
Also she told them
to look at the quality standard mark on every commodity wish to purchase
before paying for it. This will help them to avoid health problems
associated with the use of substandard and fake goods.
