What were the Tanzanian education policy of 1995?

Answer 1

Education can be defined as any process of one generation in the society transmits its knowledge, skills, values and customs as a matter of experience to another generation .

Tanzania before getting its Independence in 1961 was under burritish colonial rule.

The education system by that time was segregated as few people had accesses to school only few the sons of chiefs mostly attended the secondary school at Tabora boys. most of the schools were under the missionaries and moslem missions .

After independent in 1961 education system in Tanzania was changed so that it could cater for the need of the Tanzanian people and this was reflected in the educational policy Act. No. 37.

in this act the education system was to be free for all public secondary schools, this was intended so that a number of students could increase.

Education was to be provided in such way that no racial and religion discrimination, so all people had opportunity to attend in all schools.

Not only that but also there was introduction Regional integration, that the schools got st5udents from different regions so that the students could know each other and establish friendship that brought National unit.

Schools were to be built in areas that had no enough schools compared to other areas , For example in coastal ares missionaries didn't built a lot of schools as most of the people in this area were Muslims who didn't allow their children to study in Christian schools fearing that they may be converted.

The other example is, some areas had good climatic condition and good soil for the European to live and also to establish economic activities, compare reserved ares like Mtwara, Kigoma and Rukwa with Kilimanjaro, Kagera ang Tanga.
