Background
Education before Independence
Traditional Education:
The history of education on the Tanzanian mainland is divided into two
parts that are before and after independence. Before the coming of the
foreigners to the Tanganyika shores, each tribe had its own system of
indigenous knowledge. Traditional education was a result of daily
livelihood activities of various ethnic communities. It included
knowledge, skills, values, culture, techniques and social protection
procedures against plagues such as hunger,disease and hostile social
security.This knowledge was transmitted and inherited from one
generation to another. Lessons were peer-based and delivered by adults
at home, at work and in other available spheres. With the commencement
of colonial rule, this education system began to change in its goals and
delivery.

Education during the Colonial Period: The
first foreign visitors to the mainland were the Arabs who subsequently
followed by the Portuguese, Germans and British. They took turns in
ruling either parts of the country or the whole country. With each
regime, the education system changed according to their interests
regardless of what was beneficial to the Tanzanian mainland. The schools
differed in terms of their goals, curriculum, qualifications and
teaching professionals, language of instruction and the quality of
school infrastructure and teachers' houses.

The
coming of the Arab rule initiated Quranic studies. This education
emphasized the propagation of Islam and the Arab culture. The German and
British administration was preceded by the arrival of the missionaries.
When they arrived, the missionaries offered classes based on their
faith and the history of their countries. Education delivered by these
missionaries asserted the propagation of Christianity.

The
German administration emphasized education in skills, knowledge,
occupational training and good citizenship with allegiance to the German
Government. The British education system in Tanzania Mainland was
racist and it provided opportunities and better educational materials
for European and Asian children than their African counterparts. The
main goal of education was to get the African workers who would serve in
protecting the interests of the colonial rule, consequently making the
African elite dependent.
