SECTION B: (50 marks)

3. Tanzania, before getting its independence in 1961 was under British Colonial rule. The education
system by that time was segregative in nature as few people had access to school. Few of them
were the sons of the Chiefs who mostly attended secondary schools and most of those schools
were under the Missionaries and Muslim Mission.
After Independence in 1961 education system in Tanzania changed so that it could cater for the
needs of Tanzanians and it was reflected in the Education Policy Act No 37. In this Act the
education system was to be free for all public Secondary schools with the aim of increasing the
enrolment of students. Education was to be provided in such a way that no racial and religious
discrimination hindered students to have opportunities to attend in any school.
Not only that but also, there was introduction of regional integration among the schools from
different regions so that students could know each other and establish friendship that brought
national unity. Academic performance at that time was somehow good due to the sense that
students gained classroom knowledge and life skills that enabled them to live independent life.
4
 The situation started to the change after the government introduced word secondary schools all
over the country ;for example within three consecutive years from 2010-2012, ward schools had
proven failure to the extent that their dismal performance have triggered debates while research
has been conducted on viable steps and options to change the appalling situation but most of
them are giving out some reasons such as lack of enough qualified teachers and teaching
resources among the problems that hinder the students performance and forget to focus on style
of leadership.
