The primary school curriculum, published by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, and the Tanzania Institute of Education (TIE), was last updated in 2015. | ||
The first section, centered on the first two years of primary education (Standards 1 and 2) focuses on developing competencies in reading, writing and arithmetic. | ||
The TIE also publishes a syllabus that provides specific guidelines for the implementation of the curriculum. | ||
The syllabus states that students should learn print style letters first followed by cursive writing, but no models or samples are shown. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
In practice, Standard 1 students learn an almost upright precursive and progress to a fully-joined cursive from Standard 2 onwards. | ||
The primers available through the free online library services supply detailed samples and practice materials that are used in classrooms. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
Playwrite Tanzania is a variable font with a weight range from Thin (100) to Regular (400), and supports over 150 Latin-based languages. | ||

<h4> | ||
Playwrite Tanzania characteristics | ||
</h4> | ||
<p> | ||
This sloped continuous cursive style includes decorative capital letters. | ||
'A' and 'H' feature looped crossbars, while 'G' has a cursive structure but lacks a descending stroke. | ||
'M' and 'N' are constructed differently, with only one following a cursive format. | ||
The lowercase letters have looped ascenders and descenders. | ||
Curved entry strokes appear in 'm', 'n', and 'v', but are absent in 'w'. | ||
The letter 'q' includes a mirrored loop in its descender. | ||
</p> | ||
<img src="Playwrite-Tanzania-3.png"/> | ||
<p> | ||
Playwrite Tanzania appears in font menus with a two-letter country code ‘TZ’, | ||
<i> | ||
Playwrite TZ | ||
</i> | ||
, and features four styles: Thin, ExtraLight, Light, and Regular. | ||
<br/> | ||
The download .zip file includes the variable font and standard static ttf fonts for each style. | ||

<h3> | ||
Playwrite fonts for schools | ||
</h3> | ||
<p> | ||
The Playwrite school fonts are based on the findings of Primarium, a groundbreaking educational effort that documents the history and current practice of handwriting models taught to primary school students worldwide. | ||
This typographic engine serves teachers, educators, and parents by generating localized libre fonts. | ||
These Playwrite fonts are complemented by | ||
<a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playpen+Sans"> | ||
Playpen Sans | ||
</a> | ||
, an informal and fun typeface designed for annotations, instructions, and student notes – that also includes emojis. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||

The Playwrite font family uses complex OpenType features to generate connected writing. | ||
Some common applications require these features to be manually activated. | ||
</p> | ||

Go to Format in the Menu bar, select Font, and then the Advanced tab. | ||
Activate "Contextual Alternates" and "Kerning for fonts below" to apply these settings to all text sizes. | ||

<p> | ||
<strong> | ||

</strong> | ||
To select the different styles, go to Format in the Menu bar, select Character, and use the Typeface menu. | ||
