AS part of efforts to fulfill the late Mwalimu Julius Nyerere’s vision on education for self-reliance, the government is mulling over reviewing the education curricula towards obtaining skilled and competent graduates, who can contribute in the socio-economic development of the country.
Mwalimu Nyerere on various occasions was quoted saying: “Ideas imparted by education or released in the minds through education should therefore, be liberating ideas.
Skills acquired by education should be liberating skills and nothing else.”According to Mwalimu, education should not only be about acquiring a certificate, but rather be able to revolutionise the minds of people to embark on major transformations in their own societies.
“Quality education is what will help Tanzania to move from where it is now, a move which enables the country to fulfill its development vision and aspirations,” he pointed out.
“It’s critical to note that commemorating the passing of Mwalimu Nyerere should be done by implementing his legacies,” he pointed out.
