Electronics and Communication Engineering FTNA NECTA Assessment Format PDF
This assessment format is a revised version of a format issued by the National Examinations Council of Tanzania in 2017.
The revised format is also based on Electronics and Communication Engineering Syllabus for Technical Secondary Schools issued by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology in 2019.
The format accommodates some changes in the new syllabus, such as the addition of new topics and the removal of some content.
Generally, the new format emphasises a competency-based assessment approach rather than the content-based.
