    The following text was originally published in Prospects: the quarterly review of comparative education (Paris, UNESCO: International Bureau of Education), vol. XXIV, no. 1/2, 1994, p. 247-259. ©UNESCO: International Bureau of Education, 2000 This document may be reproduced free of charge as long as acknowledgement is made of the source. JULIUS KAMBARAGE NYERERE (1922-) Yusuf Kassam1 Julius Nyerere, the former and founding President of the United Republic of Tanzania, is known not only as one of the world’s most respected statesmen and an articulate spokesman of African liberation and African dignity but also as an educator and an original and creative educational thinker. Before launching his political career, he was a teacher, and as a result of his writings on educational philosophy and the intimate interaction between his political leadership and educational leadership for the country, he is fondly and respectfully referred to by the title of ‘Mwalimu’ (teacher) by Tanzanians and others. This is Gillette’s view of him: Indeed, part of Nyerere’s charisma lies in the fact that, before launching his political career with the founding of the Tanganyika African National Union (TANU) in 1954, he was a teacher and that his concept of his role as national leader includes constant reassessment, learning and explanation, i.e. education in the broadest sense. Since Independence, and particularly since the threshold year of 1967, Tanzania has been something of a giant in-service seminar, with Nyerere in the professor’s chair (Gillette, 1977). Many features of his educational philosophy have a universal relevance and have inspired many educators and educational and development organizations around the world.

  • Julius Nyerere's Philosophy of Education: Implication for Nigeria's
    Julius Nyerere’s Philosophy of Education: Implication for Nigeria’s Educational System Reforms by Francis Diana-Abasi Ibanga [email protected] Department of Philosophy, Federal University of Calabar Cross River State, Nigeria. Abstract Julius K. Nyerere’s philosophy of education is one of the most influential and widely studied theories of education. Policy-makers have continued to draw from it for policy re- engineering. In this paper, the Nigerian educational system is examined in the light of the philosophy. This approach is predicated on the informed belief that there are social and historical commonalities between Nigeria and the society of Nyerere’s philosophy. To this end, it is argued that the philosophy holds some important lessons for Nigeria’s education. For this reason, there is need to inject some doses of its principles in the body polity of education in Nigeria. Therefore, the paper identifies three areas where the principles of the philosophy can be practically invaluable for Nigeria, i.e., school financing, curricula development and entrepreneurial education, in and an the final analysis, the paper identifies the linkage between national philosophy of education and national developmental ideology; and argues that a national philosophy of education of any country must be embedded in the national development ideology which the country’s philosophy of education must drive. Key Words: Nyerere, Nigeria, Philosophy of Education, Tanzania, Ujamaa, Self-reliance, Development 109 Africology: The Journal of Pan African Studies, vol.9, no.3, June 2016 Introduction Education has been defined in two broad ways. On the one hand, education has been defined as the process by which a society, through certain formal and informal institutions, deliberately transmits its cultural heritage from one generation to another.

  • The Anchor of Servant-Leadership: Julius Nyerere and the Virtue Of
    THE ANCHOR OF SERVANT-LEADERSHIP Julius Nyerere and the Virtue of Humility PETER MULINGE he emergence of the concept of servant-leadership initiated a new era of moral emphasis in the field of T leadership, which was and still is dominated by self-serving models of leadership. When Robert Greenleaf (1970) conceived servant-leadership as a philosophy and practical model of leadership, he highlighted the need for a better approach to leadership, one that embraces the notion of serving others as the number one priority. He visualized leaders who would take a more a holistic approach to work, promote a sense of community, and to share power in decision making (SanFacon & Spears 2011, p. 115). Fundamentally, servant- leadership is long-term, transformational approach to life and work-in essence, is a way of being that has potential for creating a positive change throughout our society (Spears, 2003, p. 16). In this process, a servant-leader acts with humility to engage himself or herself with others and create a connection that raises the level of motivation and morality in both leader and follower (Northouse, 2016, p. 162). Leaders enable others to act not by holding on to the power they have 195 but by giving it away (Fairholm, 1998; Kouzes & Posner, 1987; Melrose, 1995). Thus, the fervent power of servant- leadership is communicated by sharing power and involving followers in planning and decision-making (Bass, 1990). According Maxwell (1998), only secure leaders give power to others (p. 121). The essence of servant-leadership is to bring out the best in others by meeting their needs.

Nyerere. It examines important themes in some of the major writings of these two famous leaders of African resistance to colonialism. After prolonged anti-colonial struggle and maneuver, both became leaders of independent countries, Nkrumah of Ghana in 1957, and Nyerere of Tanganyika in 1961.1 Both were also important scholars, with numerous influential publications. In my research of their thoughts and ideas, several seemingly contradictory themes emerged. While they remain two of the most important African nationalist leaders in history, I argue that both also sought critical and practical perspectives beyond nationalism, and beyond subordination within the capitalist world system. Both were quick to realize the limitations of ‘independence’ for their former colonies cum states, even before this was fully [formally] achieved. They were therefore critical of the specter of neo-colonialism, and espoused versions of Pan-Africanism.

  • East African Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community SADC
    REGULATING RESIDENCE AND EMPLOYMENT IN EAST AFRICA- LESSONS LEARNED BY MR. PINIEL O. MGONJA, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION (TANZANIA) PRESENTATION TO THE INTERNATIONAL DIALOGUE ON MIGRATION – INTERSESSIONAL WORKSHOP ON FREE MOVEMENT OF PERSONS IN REGIONAL INTERGRATION PROCESSES GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, 18-19 JUNE 2007. 1 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS • Tanzania is a member of the East African Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community SADC. • EAC Countries are Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda, with a total population of about 98.3 million. • Cooperation in East Africa has a long history, from the colonial era. In 1947 the EAC had already established the East African Customs Union. • Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, the first President of Tanzania proposed to delay Tanganyika’s independence so that Kenya and Uganda could join the latter to move to independence as a single entity. 2 • The first EAC was established on 1967. • At the time of its demise in 1977 EA was already in the common market. • East Africans moved more or less freely in the Region. • The current EAC draws its strength from lessons learnt from the defunct 1967-1977EAC. • Experience tells that a strong and sound EAC must be people centred. 3 THE MAP OF THE EAC 4 REVIVAL OF EAC • The EAC Treaty which was signed in 1999 specifies four main stages of the integration process namely Customs Union, Common Market, Monetary Union and Political federation. 5 FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT IN EAC • Article 104 of the East African Treaty, the partner states agreed to adopt measures to achieve the free movement of persons, labour and services and to ensure the enjoyment of the right of establishment and residence of their citizens within the Community.

  • Julius Nyerere: the Intellectual Pan-Africanist and the Question of African Unity
    JULIUS NYERERE: THE INTELLECTUAL PAN-AFRICANIST AND THE QUESTION OF AFRICAN UNITY David Mathew Chacha DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES AND LINGUISTICS, EGERTON UNIVERSITY, P.O.BOX 536, NJORO, KENYA. Email:[email protected] Julius Nyerere stands out as an epitome in whom a bold experiment was made to give content and meaning to Tanzania’s independence. His passionate conviction was that the case of pan-African freedom was the only legitimate determination of all political action by the political African elites. To him, pan-Africanism meant self –determination in all matters; economic, political, social, ideological and cultural. To demonstrate this he made a cultural choice by adopting an indigenous language, Swahili as both the national and official language. In so doing Nyerere recognized the role of language in the development of cultural authenticity and national unity. This not only facilitated national integration in an otherwise complex multilingual republic of Tanzania but also as a way of asserting independence from political economic and most importantly cultural domination. African intellectuals and literary icons, notably, Chinua Achebe, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, Wole Soyinka, Ali Mazrui, Okot p’Bitek,etc have made passionate pleas for a cultural re-awakening, which they see as a first step towards social political and economic growth. Otherwise globalization is not only threatening to marginalize Africa but is also throwing it into a state of confusion as it tries to blend traditional values with western traditions, which to a large extent are incompatible. This paper proposes to draw from Nyereres bold experiment to make a case for the African renaissance and the quest to not only discover itself and uphold its identity but also to appreciate the inherent power enshrined in its cultural heritage.
