Mkombozi Practice Handbook: Methodology for delivering and practicing non-formal education in Tanzania

Submitted by crinadmin on Thu, 15/03/2007 - 09:07

This handbook was initially intended for Mkombozi educators who are delivering Non-Formal Education (NFE) to street children in its care or on the streets. However, the principles and practice are applicable in a school-based context and would be of value in the Tanzanian Education system to work towards building learners who are collaborators, communicators, learners and, ultimately, productive members of society.

Mkombozi's NFE is based on the Primary Years Programme (PYP) of the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO). The PYP is one of three programmes offered by the IBO. It is designed for students aged three to 12 and it "focuses on the total growth of the developing child, touching hearts as well as minds and encompassing social, physical, emotional and cultural needs in addition to academic development."
