Elpidius Baganda A thesis submitted as partial fulfilment of the requirement for the award of a degree of Master of Philosophy in Comparative and International Education Institute for Educational Research Faculty of Education UNIVERSITY OF OSLO August 2008 i ABSTRACT This is a report of a study that critically explored the implementation process in the decentralisation of primary education in Tanzania. The main objectives of the study were to explore the successes and challenges of the on-going decentralisation of primary education in Tanzania. The study mainly adopted a qualitative research approach. The methods employed to collect data were interviews, informal field observation, focus group discussions as well as documentary analysis. The informants involved in the data collection were policy-makers, council officials and councillors, Head teachers and members of the school committee. In addition to these informants, officers from HakiElimu were also involved. In brief, the study revealed that, following the contemporary decentralisation of primary education, there have been some improvements on access, quality and management of primary education. The Gross Enrolment Ratio has increased from 77.6 percent in 1990 to 114.4 percent in 2007. The Net Enrolment Ratio reached 97.3 percent compared to 58.8 percent in 1990 (Okkolin, 2006; URT, 2007a).

    Tanzanian Affairs Text 1 Issued by the Britain-Tanzania Society No 104 Jan - April 2013 Big Progress in Transport Death of a Journalist A Tale of Two Museums Meaning in Miscellanea Faith News BIG PROGRESS IN TRANSPORT New ‘no frills’ airline launched A new ‘no frills’ airline called ‘Fastjet’, modelled on the Easyjet airline which has revolutionised air travel in Europe, was launched in Africa on November 29th. The famous entrepreneur Sir Stelios Haji Ioannou, who started Easyjet, has joined with Lonrho’s airline, which flies in West Africa to establish the new group. Significantly, Fastjet chose to begin in Tanzania and Dar es Salaam airport will be its first African hub. It has already leased two planes, has 15 more on order (all Airbus A319s with a capacity for up to 156 passengers), and plans to build up to a fleet of 40. Tanzania’s dynamic Minister of Transport, Dr Harrison Mwakyembe, spoke about the unusually speedy implementation of this vast project when he addressed a crowded AGM of the Britain Tanzania Society in London in mid November. Fastjet plans to expand from Tanzania into Kenya in 2013 and then to Ghana and Angola which are already served by the Lonrho airline. It is advertising for pilots, passenger services agents, cabin crew and crew managers and also for retail sales agents in the East African media. ‘Taking the country by storm.’ The Citizen wrote that the launch had taken the country by storm, as the airline transported 900 passengers in eight flights from Dar to Mwanza and Kilimanjaro and back on its first day! The airline’s management told investors that demand for seats on these routes far outstripped supply.

  • Master's Thesis Matti Kontsas Final
    Matti Kontsas Knock Out Poverty – Kick in Development: A case study of sport and development in Tanzania University of Jyväskylä Department of Sports Sciences Master’s Thesis Sport Planning and Administration Autumn 2006 UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ Department of Sport Sciences/Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences KONTSAS, MATTI: Knock Out Poverty – Kick in Development: A case study of sport and development in Tanzania ABSTRACT Master’s Thesis, 100 pages Sport Planning and Administration 2006 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The thesis focuses on finding best practices for using sport as a tool for development in Tanzania. Sport has risen quickly into the forefront of strategies used to tackle problems related to development, but there is still very little research evidence to verify what really works and why. The purpose of the research was to provide suggestions for Fida International in using sport as a tool for development in Tanzania. The main research problem was how Fida International can start using sport as a tool for tackling the problems of the youth in Tanzania. In order to approach the issue it was also necessary to focus on the problems of the youth in Tanzania and more specifically also on the problems related to youth sports. The research design used was case study research and the data collection and analysis methods were mostly based on the Logical Framework Approach, which is widely used in project planning and management. Data for the research was collected during a six month visit to Tanzania through four interviews, two participatory workshops, observations, and written sources. The analysis of the data followed the analysis phase of the Logical Framework Approach, which included the stakeholder analysis, problem analysis, objective analysis, and strategy selection.

  • The Running in Tanzania As an Economy
    Negotiating ‘Modernity’ on the Run Migration, Age Transition and „Development‟ in a Training Camp for Female Athletes in Arusha, Tanzania Aline Taylor _________________________________________ A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology University Of Canterbury August 2008 _______________________________________________________ Abstract Sports have recently been incorporated into international development agendas in a bid to „empower‟ women and foster gender equality. Considered a masculine domain, sports are argued to empower women by challenging the status quo and their „traditional‟ positions in societies. This thesis examines the use of sport in an athletic training camp for female distance runners located in Arusha, Northern Tanzania. Like other similar camps throughout East Africa, this training camp provides financial support for athletes, recruited from isolated rural areas, to live and train full time in the city. The camp was founded and is run by a Tanzanian couple, known as Gwandu and Mama Gwandu, but it has recently begun receiving financial support from an American development organisation. The director of this organisation, Karl, aims to empower the young women training in the camp by enabling them to use their sporting talent to further their education. This directly contradicts Gwandu and Mama Gwandu‟s goals, however, and they strive to enable the girls to improve their lives by earning money from running. The girls themselves perceive running as a unique opportunity to migrate to Arusha and distance themselves from their natal villages. The idea of earning money from running is secondary, for the girls, to the aspiration of settling permanently in the city.

  • The History of Football from FIFA.Com • the Origins • Britain, the Home Of
    The History of Football from FIFA.com • The Origins • Britain, the home of Football • Opposition to the game • The Global Growth The Origins The contemporary history of the world's favorite game spans more than 100 years. It all began in 1863 in England, when rugby football and association football branched off on their different courses and the Football Association in England was formed - becoming the sport's first governing body. Both codes stemmed from a common root and both have a long and intricately branched ancestral tree. A search down the centuries reveals at least half a dozen different games, varying to different degrees, and to which the historical development of football has been traced back. Whether this can be justified in some instances is disputable. Nevertheless, the fact remains that people have enjoyed kicking a ball about for thousands of years and there is absolutely no reason to consider it an aberration of the more 'natural' form of playing a ball with the hands. On the contrary, apart from the need to employ the legs and feet in tough tussles for the ball, often without any laws for protection, it was recognized right at the outset that the art of controlling the ball with the feet was not easy and, as such, required no small measure of skill. The very earliest form of the game for which there is scientific evidence was an exercise from a military manual dating back to the second and third centuries BC in China. This Han Dynasty forebear of football was called Tsu' Chu and it consisted of kicking a leather ball filled with feathers and hair through an opening, measuring only 30-40cm in width, into a small net fixed onto long bamboo canes.

History of mankind identified run, throw and jump as racial tendencies. Today, we used to mechanical advantage for our daily necessities.

How Football Began The origins of football as we know it today, can be traced back to some of the very first ball sports ever known to man (women top judging by the success Arsenal and Charlton’s women’s team). First played by cave men, football was a means of developing the stamina, strength and speed needed by young men for hunting. The ancient Greeks were known to play a game called “Harpastron” which was an early form of Handball (Could this have inspired Diego Maradona’s first goal against England in the quarter final of the 1986 World Cup?). By 220AD the Romans had introduced kicking into the already established game of Harpastron. The Romans renamed the game “Harpastum”. The English however developed the game which most closely resembles modern football.

Copper Mining and Football: Comparing the game in the Katangese and Rhodesian Copperbelts c. 1930 – 1980 Hikabwa D. Chipande University of Zambia Throughout the twentieth century, colonial authorities believed in the power of sport as a tool for moulding submissive labour. Belgian and British colonialists, industrialists and Christian missionaries introduced football to the Katangese and Rhodesian Copperbelts respectively towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century and attempted to use it as a tool for controlling, and ‘civilising’ colonised Africans. This paper argues that Africans found alternative ways of eluding colonial and capitalist exploitation in the mining towns, appropriated football, used it to build urban networks and sometimes even to express aspirations for independence.
