WHO IS KILLING “EDUCATION FOR SELF RELIANCE”?
BY GURDIAN CORRESPONDENT …. YEREMIAS NGERANGERA..NAMTUMBO.
The late Father of the nation ,the first president of the united Republic of Tanzania combred Julius Kambarage Nyerere wrote the following and I goute “for those who receive this previlage therefore , have the duty to repay the sacrifice which others have made”
Iam taking this opportunity to ask who is killing Arusha decleration established in 1967 that aimed to encourage education for self reliance in the country.
The manifesto “education for self reliance “was of great value to all young generation of the united republic of Tanzania simply because they prepared young generation for self employement.
Iwant here to certify examplary secondary schools which were both busy in education and self reliance activities , yet they performed a tremendours passes in academic gualifications .
Caigo secondary school found in Ruvuma Region ,Chidya secondary school,Mtwara girls (mangamba) found in Mtwara Region,Galanos Secondary school found in Tanga Region,Kilakala Girls secondary school found in Morogoro Region and Msalato Girls found in Dodoma Region.
Those secondary schools imentioned above came to the point of feeding themselves from agricultural activities performed in a school farm known as “SHAMBA LA MBALI” in Caigo secondary school.
Through self reliance which were in schools at the beginning of this Nation young generation were prepared to be self employed but this time young generation going to fail in self employement rather than waiting to be employed by the government .
Concentrating in education without self reliance will lead to unemployement ,chaos, internet theft,death, vagobondism and presence of Undugunaisheni in employement when the government announced job vacancies.
Where are we going? Having students who are busy in internet and charting ?having teachers who are loose in management and busy in their engangement ?what do they supervise ?
Most of the schools environment have changed ,they are torn,dirty and untidy “every thing the government “simply because school leaders were not been prepared in self reliance when they are in schools that help to be creative ,they have been prepared for employement only.
The minister and ministry have to revive by hooks and crooks “Education for self reliance “and if we don’t repeat the outcome wil be in 2030’s .
This article iam writing in a great sadness ,the vision of the future education prospects is going to be in great jeopardy ,the government should comprehend the policy , other wise the future education prospects is going to be in darkness.
Iwant to remind the man the wisdom of the late father of the nation who said and iguote “if we want to develop we need only four items namely ,people(the nation) the land(soil) good policy and good leadership.
Education for self reliance was among the best educational policies in
the 20th century ever seen in the third world countries south of the sahara desert/region.while now days education for self reliance is not among the education policies .
The policy of education for self reliance taught us creativeness hardworking ,patriotism,self awareness ,sympathy and self actualization .
Please President of the united Republic of Tanzania Samia Suluhu Hassan oversee the truth ,you are going to have the duty to repay the sacrifice which others have made simply because you are among the fruits of education for self reliance.
