탄자니아 교육 정책의 변동을 둘러싼 정치적 동학과 주요 이슈

초록

Since its independence, Tanzania has made various policy efforts to improve its education. With the state-led ‘Education for Self-Reliance’ policy, Tanzania made significant progress in adult literacy and universal primary education. However, the achievements did not sustain and rather fluctuated greatly from period to period. The fluctuation in terms of its performance may be explained by different education policies of each period. This article traces the changes of educational policy in Tanzania since independece and examines why and how the policy has changed. The special attention is paid to the two turning points - 1967 Arusha Declaration and signing an agreement with IMF in 1986. In addition, the article discusses two current issues that reveals Tanzania’s long-time dillema in education – the use of English as a language of instruction and the increase in private schools. Tanzanian case well illustrates how many young African countries’ goal of decolonization and self-rerliance have been pursued, achieved or frustrated in the field of education.
