The History of Education in Mainland Tanzania is divided into two parts which are before and after independence.
Before the arrival of foreigners on the shores of Tanganyika, each tribe had its own traditional education system. Traditional Education was based on the daily routines of various ethnic communities.
The education that included knowledge, skills, values, culture, methods and good procedures to work and protect themselves from the scourges of hunger, diseases and enemies of the security of society and their property was inherited from one generation to another.
Learning material was divided into groups and provided by adults at home, at work and in other areas of life. This system began to have changes in its goals and delivery since the colonists entered the country.
Education During the Colonial Period
The first visitors to Mainland Tanzania were the Arabs, followed by the Portuguese, Germans and the British.
Since the foreigners took over the power of a part of the country or the whole country, each group changed the education system according to their wishes regardless of what was beneficial to Tanzanians.
Schools of different nations differed in goals, curricula, qualifications and professions of teachers, language of instruction, and the quality of school buildings and teachers' homes.
When the Arabs entered, they started learning the Quran. This education emphasized the spread of the Islamic religion and Arab culture. German and English rule was preceded by the arrival of Missionaries.
When they arrived, the Missionaries provided education according to their faith and the history of the country they came from. Missionary education emphasized the spread of the Christian religion.
German rule provided education that emphasized skills, knowledge and vocational training and good citizenship for the German government.
The British education system in Mainland Tanzania was based on racism and provided better opportunities and resources for education to European and Asian children than Africans.
The main goal of education was to find African servants who would be used to defend the wishes of the colonists, thus making the scholars dependent.
