OBJECTIVES OF SECONDARY EDUCATION IN TANZANIA
Objectives of Secondary Education are:
- To consolidate and broaden the scope of baseline ideas, knowledge, skills and principles acquired and developed at the primary education level,
- To enhance further development and appreciation of national unity, identity and ethic, personal integrity, respect for and readiness to work, human rights, cultural and moral values, customs, traditions and civic responsibilities and obligations;
- To promote the development of competency in linguistic ability and effective use of communication skills in Kiswahili and in at least one foreign language;
- To provide opportunities for the acquisition of knowledge, skills, attitudes and understanding in prescribed or selected fields of study;
- To prepare students for tertiary and higher education, vocational, technical and professional training;
- To inculcate a sense and ability for self-study, self-confidence and self- advancement in new frontiers of science and technology, academic and occupational knowledge, and skills;
- To prepare the student to join the world of work.
STRUCTURE OF SECONDARY EDUCATION
The Two-tier System
The first cycle is ordinary level (O-level), of four years post primary education. The cycle follows both a core or common national curriculum and specialized optional subjects at the end of which students sit for nationally set examinations.
The second cycle is Advanced level (“A” level) which is two years post “O” level. The cycle follows a national curriculum and examinations. It is divided between Science and Arts streams. It prepares students for tertiary and higher education as well as entry into the world of work.
Operation of Secondary School
Secondary Schools in Tanzania can be either for boys only, Girls only or Co-educational. The majority of government, community and non–government schools are co- educational.
