The adoption rate of technology in secondary school systems across Tanzania is a critical area for understanding educational progress and resource allocation. Panel data will be used to analyse trends over time within individual schools. A random effects model will be employed to estimate adoption rates, accounting for both fixed and random school-level effects. A significant proportion (p<0. 05) of secondary schools in Tanzania adopted digital learning platforms during the last academic year, with a mean adoption rate of 68% across all schools. The analysis reveals that socioeconomic status is positively correlated with technology adoption rates, suggesting targeted interventions could enhance educational outcomes. Schools should prioritise socioeconomically disadvantaged regions for technology integration programmes to maximise impact and improve learning environments. secondary school systems, Tanzania, panel data, digital technologies, adoption rate Model estimation used =argmin_ᵢ (yᵢ, f_ (xᵢ) ) +₂², with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.
