It is recorded that, as Learners remain at home/or office, they are never under the physical supervision of OOSA or any of its employees. As such, OOSA is never in loco parentis with respect to any Learner, and the responsibilities of Parents remain those set out in the Guideline on Secondary Education through Open and Distance Learning in Tanzania, published by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training, 2013, which include assuming responsibility for the education of a Learner learning from home and guiding, assisting, managing and supporting that Learner’s home education.
- All Parents should always act with integrity and courtesy.
- All Parents should demonstrate honest and ethical behaviour.
- All Parents should respect the OOSA environment, the OOSA staff members as well as the Learners and other Parents.
- All Parents must comply with and respect all the OOSA policies.
- Parents may not bring OOSA into disrepute.
- Parent may not, in the context of OOSA, Parents, Learners, Educators, OOSA employees and/or the school environment generally, discriminate against any person on the basis of race, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital status, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language or birth.
