PRIME Minister Kassim Majaliwa has banned private companies from publishing textbooks as one of the measures to ensure provision of quality education in the country.
The Premier was speaking to Arusha City
Council’s teachers during his ongoing working visit in the region. He
said the government has instructed Tanzania Education Authority (TEA) to
supervise the publishing of all books that are used in schools in the
country.
He said apart from ensuring quality
education, the government also aims at enabling each student to use
his/her own book in the classroom.
“Our aim is to ensure there are specific
books for specific subjects and each student must use his/her own book
during class sessions,” he said.
The Prime Minister said different people
have been publishing textbooks without adhering to given standards and
that there have been many complaints due to poor quality and many
mistakes.
