Na. 266 Idadi ya Shule za Awali Nchi MHE. AMINA S. MOLLEL (K. n. y. MHE. SUSAN A. J. LYIMO) aliuliza:- Elimu bora ni uti wa mgongo wa maendeleo ya jamii yoyote ile na ni msingi bora wa elimu kwa watoto unaoanzia toka shule za awali na za msingi:- (a) Je, kuna shule ngapi za awali kati ya mahitaji halisi? (b) Je, ni nini mipango ya haraka kuhakikisha shule za awali zinakuwepo katika shule zote za msingi za Serikali nchini? NAIBU WAZIRI, OFISI YA RAIS, TAWALA ZA MIKOA NA SERIKALI ZA MITAA alijibu:- Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika, kwa niaba ya Waziri wa Nchi Ofisi ya Rais - TAMISEMI, naomba kujibu swali la Mheshimiwa Susan Anselim Lyimo, Mbunge wa Viti Maalum, lenye sehemu (a) na (b) kama ifuatavyo:- (a) Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika, mahitaji halisi ya madarasa ya awali ni 16,014 ambayo ni sawa na idadi ya shule za msingi zilizopo nchini kwa sasa. Shule zenye madarasa ya awali ni 14,946 ambazo ni sawa na asilimia 93.33 ya mahitaji. Hivyo, shule za msingi 1,068 hazina madarasa ya awali. (b) Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika, ujenzi wa vyumba vya madarasa ya awali unafanywa na Halmashauri kwa kushirikisha na nguvu za wananchi kupitia Mpango wa Fursa na Vikwazo yaani O and OD (Opportunity and Obstacle to Development). Azma ya Serikali ni kuhakikisha inajenga na kukamilisha vyumba vya madarasa vya awali kwa shule zote 1,068 zenye upungufu huo. Hivyo nitoe wito kwa Halmashauri zenye mapungufu haya kuangalia upya vipaumbele vyake na kutenga bajeti ya kuwezesha ujenzi wa miundombinu hiyo muhimu. NAIBU SPIKA: Mheshimiwa Amina Mollel, swali la nyongeza. 3 NAKALA YA MTANDAO (ONLINE DOCUMENT) MHE. AMINA S. MOLLEL: Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika, ahsante. Nashukuru kwa majibu mazuri ya Naibu Waziri, nina maswali mawili ya nyongeza. Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika, swali la kwanza, kutokana na mwamko ambao umejitokeza hivi sasa kwa watoto wengi kuhudhuria shule kutokana na elimu bure, lakini vilevile kumekuwepo na changamoto mbalimbali yakiwemo pia malalamiko kutoka kwa wananchi. Je, Serikali inajipanga vipi kuhakikisha kwamba changamato hizi inaziondoa ili watoto wote waweze kupata elimu? Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika, swali la pili, watoto wenye mahitaji maalum bado wao wanakabiliwa na changamoto nyingi; je, Serikali ili kuendana na kasi hii, inajipangaje kuhakikisha watoto wenye ulemavu ambao jamii imekuwa ikiwaficha na wao pia wanapata nafasi ya kupata elimu bure na kuifurahia nchi yao? NAIBU WAZIRI, OFISI YA RAIS, TAWALA ZA MIKOA NA SERIKALI ZA MITAA: Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika, katika sehemu ya kwanza ni changamoto zinazozikabili shule zetu. Ni kweli mara baada ya mchakato wa Serikali yetu ya Awamu ya Tano, ilipojielekeza kwamba elimu kuanzia shule ya awali mpaka form four kuwa ya bure, tumegundua kuna mambo mengi sana yamejitokeza. Jambo la kwanza ni kitendo cha watoto wengi waliokuwa wakibaki mitaani kwa kukosa fursa ya kujiunga na shule, hivi sasa wanaende shule. Baada ya hilo kilichotokea ni kwamba tumekuwa na tatizo kubwa la upungufu wa madawati na mambo mbalimbali. Katika hili ndiyo maana Waziri wangu wa Nchi sambamba na Waziri Mkuu walitoa maelekezo kwamba ikifika 30 Juni, madawati yote yawe yameweza kupatikana maeneo ili kuondoa changamoto ya watoto wanaokaa chini. Hata hivyo, Serikali imejielekeza kuhakikisha kwamba tunajitahidi katika ujenzi wa miundombinu ikiwemo madarasa lengo likiwa watoto wote wanaofika shuleni waweze kupata elimu. Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika, sambamba na hilo kuna swali la pili linalohusu watoto wenye ulemavu. Ni kweli mimi mwenyewe nikiri kwamba nimetembelea shule kadhaa za watoto wenye ulemavu, kule Mufindi hali kadhalika pale Dar es Salaam, maeneo hayo nilioyatembelea ni kweli watoto hao wana changamoto mbalimbali, lakini nimeweza kutoa maelekezo mbalimbali kwa Wakurugenzi wa Halmashauri, wahakikishe kwanza watoto hao wenye ulemavu wanapewa kipaumbele. Ndiyo maana katika bajeti yetu ya TAMISEMI mwaka huu tumejielekeza wazi jinsi gani tumejipanga katika suala zima la watu wenye ulemavu ili kwamba watoto wote wanaoenda shuleni kutokana na hali zao wote waweze kupata elimu. 4 NAKALA YA MTANDAO (ONLINE DOCUMENT) Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika, kwa hiyo, Mheshimiwa Amina Mollel, najua kwamba wewe ni mwakilishi halisi na makini sana wa walemavu, tutahakikisha ombi lako hili linafanyiwa kazi katika Serikali hii ya Awamu ya Tano kwa nguvu zote. (Makofi) NAIBU SPIKA: Mheshimiwa Mwalongo, swali la nyongeza. MHE. EDWARD F. MWALONGO: Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika, ahsante kwa kunipa nafasi. Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika, naomba kumuuliza Mheshimiwa Waziri, ni kwa nini sasa katika yale madarasa ya awali ukiangalia fungu lile la elimu bure wanapotoa ile fedha, wale watoto wa madarasa ya awali hawapati ile fedha na inawafanya wazazi waendelee kuchangia yale madarasa ya awali. Je, ni lini Serikali itaanza kutoa fedha kwa ajili ya madarasa ya awali? NAIBU WAZIRI, OFISI YA RAIS, TAWALA ZA MIKOA NA SERIKALI ZA MITAA: Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika, nimesema katika majibu yangu ya msingi, ukija kuangalia maeneo mbalimbali ambapo watoto wale wa awali waliokuwa wakienda shuleni, mara nyingi sana walimu waliokuwa wanafundisha utakukuta ni walimu waliokuwa wanachukuliwa mtaani, waliomaliza form four, darasa la saba ambaye anaweza akafundisha. Katika maelekezo ya utaratibu wetu wa elimu, wale watu wote wanaomaliza grade „A‟ wanakuwa na component ya elimu ya awali. Kwa hiyo, utakuja kuona kwamba, wakati mwingine watoto walikuwa wakienda shule wanalazimishwa walipie fedha kwa ajili ya mwalimu wa awali, jambo lile tumesema kwamba, walimu wote sasa hivi wanaomaliza grade „A‟ walimu wale wanaopelekwa mashuleni, kuna mwalimu anayefundisha darasa la awali. Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika, maelezo yetu kama Ofisi ya Rais – TAMISEMI, ni kuhakikisha Wakurugenzi, wanahakikisha katika allocation ya wale walimu katika shule mbalimbali, wawapeleke walimu ili kusaidia kuondoa ule utaratibu wa wazazi kuwa wanachanga kwa ajili ya kumchukua mtu mtaani kuja kufundisha. Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika, hili tumeenda mbali zaidi, ndiyo maana watu walioshudia mwaka jana hapa katika Chuo chetu cha UDOM, tulipeleke takribani walimu wapatao 17,000 katika somo la KKK. Lengo ni kuwawezesha watoto wanapoingia shuleni kuanzia awali na watoto wa darasa la kwanza waweze kujua kusoma na kuandika. 5 NAKALA YA MTANDAO (ONLINE DOCUMENT) Kwa hiyo, Mheshimiwa Mbunge ni kweli Serikali tunajua changamoto ni nyingi kutokana na suala la elimu bure, lakini Serikali inaangalia jinsi gani tutatatua matatizo mbalimbali. Mara baada ya kufanya jambo hili tumegundua jambo changamoto nyingi zimeweza kujitokeza, changamoto hizi ni kutokana na hii fursa sasa, Serikali ya Awamu ya Tano iliweza kufungua sasa na kupitia hizi changamoto, ndiyo tunaenda kuhakikisha kwamba tunalijenga Taifa la kupata elimu bora. Changamoto hizi, tutakuwa tunazitatua awamu kwa awamu. NAIBU SPIKA: Mheshimiwa Zacharia Issaay swali fupi la nyongeza. Mheshimiwa Dkt. Ishengoma, naona Mheshimiwa Issaay yuko busy! MHE. DKT. CHRISTINE G. ISHENGOMA:

  • Embaixada Do Brasil Em Dar Es Salaam Relatório De Gestão
    EMBAIXADA DO BRASIL EM DAR ES SALAAM RELATÓRIO DE GESTÃO EMBAIXADOR CARLOS ALFONSO IGLESIAS PUENTE A presente versão simplificada e ostensiva do relatório de minha gestão como titular da Embaixada do Brasil em Dar es Salaam está estruturada da seguinte forma: I- Introdução II- Relações Políticas – política interna, externa e relações bilaterais; III- Relações Econômicas – panorama econômico-comercial e promoção comercial e de investimentos; IV- Cooperação Técnica e educacional – panorama, projeto Cotton Victoria e outros de cooperação técnica; cooperação educacional e promoção de língua portuguesa; V- Difusão cultural; VI – Cumulatividades – Comores, Seicheles e EAC 2. Algumas das maiores mudanças empreendidas pela minha gestão à frente do posto ocorreram nos setores de administração e consular. A fim de contornar as graves deficiências no controle patrimonial, decorrentes de problemas do programa de inventário, o posto conseguiu desenvolver novo banco de dados em Microsoft Access, cujas licenças também serviram para que se informatizasse, num segundo momento, o setor de administração, em particular o de contabilidade, e de atendimento consular. O sistema informatizado pôde garantir um serviço ao consulente ainda mais rápido e eficaz, de forma a complementar medidas adotadas logo que assumi a embaixada, e destinadas a tornar o atendimento mais humanizado e empático, entre as quais destaco a bem-sucedida implementação de protocolo de atendimento consular, que tem contribuído para assegurar atendimento ao público sempre cortês, eficiente e consistente. Na área consular, cite-se, ainda, a abertura recente, por proposta minha, de consulado honorário em Zanzibar, que tem por objetivo atender o crescente afluxo de turistas brasileiros no arquipélago e facilitar a interlocução com o governo daquela região semiautônoma.

  • Exclusion, Identity and the Future of Nubians in Northern Uganda
    Strangers Everywhere: Exclusion, Identity and the Future of Nubians in Northern Uganda By Charles Amone Greener Journal of Political and Social Sciences Vol. 1 (1), pp. 001-008, October 2013. Research Article Strangers Everywhere: Exclusion, Identity and the Future of Nubians in Northern Uganda Charles Amone Head of Department of History in Gulu University, Northern Uganda. Email: [email protected], Tel: +256 0471432922, Mobile: +256772462901. ABSTRACT This paper discusses Nubian identity formation vis-à-vis the politics of exclusion in Uganda during and after the British colonial rule. It traces the history of the Nubians from the time of their imperial service as slave soldiers of the Egyptian Government in the Equatoria Province up to the time of settlement in Northern Uganda’s Gulu and Kitgum Districts. The main argument is that Uganda’s Nubians have always been regarded as strangers by the people among whom they settled. The author contends that the future of the Nubians in northern Uganda lies in their willingness and ability to assimilate and to be assimilated. Keywords: Nubian, Identity, Strangers, Exclusion, Slave soldiers, martial race. INTRODUCTION The Nubian phenomenon in Uganda, as well as in other parts of East Africa, is not a sudden, alien intrusion but an integral part of its modern history (Zubairi and Doka, 1992: 1). Although Omar (1985: 428) has argued that the term “Nubian” in East Africa, and particularly Ugandan sense, is a comparable misnomer, a creation of Ugandans and other East Africans, and that there are no links between the Nubians of East Africa and the real Nubians of Upper Egypt and Northern Sudan, there is reason to believe that the Nubians of East Africa take their name from the original Nubians of Egypt and Sudan.

The current government of Yoweri Museveni has faced the highest number of armed insurgencies (seven), followed by the Obote II regime (five), the Amin military dictatorship (two) and the Obote I administration (one).2 Strikingly, only 17 out of the 47 post-colonial years have been entirely civil war free. 7 NRA 6 UFM FEDEMO UNFR I FUNA 5 NRA UFM UNRF I FUNA wars 4 UPDA LRA LRA civil HSM ADF ADF of UPA WNBF UNRF II 3 Number FUNA LRA LRA UNRF I UPA WNBF 2 UPDA HSM Battle Kikoosi Maluum/ UNLA LRA LRA 1 of Mengo FRONASA 0 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Figure 1: Civil war in Uganda, 1962-2008 Source: Own compilation.

MBOWE: Mheshimiwa Spika, nakushukuru kwa kuniona. Mheshimiwa Waziri Mkuu nafikiri una hakiki kutokana na vyanzo vyako mbalimbali kwamba Taifa katika wakati huu linakumbwa na sintofahamu, hofu na taharuki nyingi zinazosababishwa mambo kadhaa.

Kuna hofu kuhusu haki ya kikatiba ya kupata na kutoa habari ambayo inaweza kuchagizwa kwa kiwango kikubwa na kukosekana kitu kama uhuru wa Bunge kusikika kwa wananchi ambao wametutuma mahali hapa. Mheshimiwa Spika, kuna hofu kuhusu watu kupotea, watu kutekwa na jambo hili limetawala sana kwenye mijadala katika mitandao na vyombo vya habari na mfano halisi ukiwemo kupotea kwa msaidizi wangu Ben Saanane ni miezi sita sasa Serikali haijawahi kutoa kauli yoyote, haielezi ni nini kinafanyika jambo ambalo linapelekea pengine kuamini aidha, Serikali haitaki kufanya uchunguzi ama imeshindwa kufanya uchunguzi.
