ABSTRACT
This study focused on exploring issues in provision of pre-primary education in
Tanzania. The specific objectives of the study were to assess the current practices in
the provision of pre-primary education in Tanzania, investigate the challenges that
encounter provision of pre-primary education in Tanzania and then suggest
appropriate strategies toward provision of pre-primary education in Tanzania. The
study used both qualitative and quantitative paradigms in data collection and data
analysis procedure. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaire, and
documentary reviews from 53 participants.
The findings of this study indicated that head teachers faced multiple challenges in
managing pre-primary education including lack of instructional materials, chairs and
desks. Others were high enrolment in some schools, low enrolment in some schools,
absence of classrooms, shortage of qualified teachers and lack of funds.
Based on the findings, it was concluded that the objectives of pre-primary education
in Tanzania can only be achieved if the Education and Training Policy (ETP) is
consistently and effectively implemented from national level to school level.
The study recommended that the formulation and implementation of ETP by the
government and education stakeholders need to be linked with the economic policies
to make the ETP more realistic. The Government should collaborate with
educational stakeholders to implement the planned education strategies including
cost sharing, availability of qualified pre-primary teachers and availability of
teaching and learning facilities.
