Education is a crucial instrument in ensuring that a nation has educated citizens capable of contributing to its development agenda.
Since gaining independence in 1961, the Tanzanian government has taken various steps at different times to reform its education system to achieve development goals and produce the desired outcomes.
As a result, education guiding policies have been continually improved to meet the objectives of the education system for the respective periods.
For instance, the Ministry of Education introduced the Education Act in 1962, marking the beginning of reforms in the education sector.
These reforms emphasized the preparation of Tanzanians academically to fill positions in the government that had initially been occupied by foreigners and later left vacant.
Consequently, the Education Act mandated all primary schools to extend the duration of their academic programmes to eight years and stressed the importance of increasing access to secondary education.
