The Model UN General Assembly was also attended by 16 school teachers, one from each region. Rebecca Mbaga of Arusha Secondary, was the coordinator for the Arusha delegation. Students who represented Arusha in the "UN General Assembly" include: Robinson Mwaikunda of Arusha Secondary who played the "Ambassador from Arusha!" Others were, Sekela Eden of Kaloleni Secondary School , Innocent Mmbaga of Singe Secondary, Johannes Mbise of Enaboishu Secondary and Doita Issaih form Bondeni Secondary.
