THE NATIONAL EXAMINATIONS COUNCIL OF TANZANIA (NECTA)

The Parliamentary Act No. 21 of 1973 created the National Examinations Council of Tanzania (NECTA), a government institution.

In Tanzania, NECTA is in charge of overseeing the administration of all national exams.

The choice to create NECTA was a response to a previous action taken in April 1971 when Tanzania Mainland withdrew from the East African Examinations Council (EAEC) in order to administer her own exams. In 1970, Zanzibar resigned from the EAEC.

Tanzania took part in the joint East African Syndicate and Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate-run foreign secondary school examinations between 1968 and 1971, which were the last ones held there before the pull-out.
