Tanzania

Between extraordinary nature and development challenges

Tanzania is one of the most fascinating countries in East Africa, known for its natural parks, Mount Kilimanjaro, and the beaches of Zanzibar.

Despite its remarkable natural and cultural wealth, a large portion of the population still lives in poverty, especially in rural areas where infrastructure, healthcare, and employment opportunities are limited.

Education and healthcare remain fragile sectors, but recent years have shown significant progress in political stability, tourism, and economic growth, nurturing hope for a more equitable and sustainable future.

Reforms and inclusion: Tanzania’s educational challenges

Between 2022 and 2024, Tanzania launched important reforms within its school system. Study cycles were revised and curricula updated to better reflect the reality and needs of young people. New subjects such as computer science, arts, religion, and home economics were introduced to better prepare students for modern life and the job market.

During this period, the government also worked to make education more accessible for children with special needs. Progress has been made toward creating more inclusive school environments, though significant challenges remain, particularly around teacher training and family engagement in remote regions.

Despite these efforts, the lack of qualified teachers, inadequate facilities, and insufficient school materials has slowed implementation. In many rural areas, schools still struggle to provide quality education. Local and international organizations have stepped in to offer support, but the need for further investment remains very high.

From 2022 to 2024, organizations such as UNESCO, UNICEF, and USAID supported the Tanzanian government with programs and funding. Thanks to these partnerships, important initiatives have been launched. Looking ahead, continued collaboration will be essential to ensure that every child has access to fair and quality education.
