Summary: This is a survey about quality of education in
Tanzania. It is a good example of inclusive
research – allowing people of all ages to
participate and giving equal weight to the
entries. It also shows how both drawings and
essays can be valuable in research, opinion
polls and surveys.In 2002 HakiElimu (=The right to Education) organized a
countrywide essay and drawing competition on quality education.
The topic of the competition was “What is a Good School?”
and “What is a Bad School?” The competition aimed at stimulating
the public, particularly children and young people, to debate the
meaning of quality education and contribute to the Primary
Education Development Plan (PEDP).
Over one thousand people of different ages and backgrounds
across Tanzania responded to a competition on “What is a Good
School?” organized by HakiElimu. The aim was to stimulate
debate on the meaning of quality education. The variety and
depth of the response demonstrates that people across Tanzania
are thinking about education and have ideas to share.
This booklet summarizes the issues raised and publishes 17 of
the best essays and drawings received. The competition and
publication is meant to inspire students, parents, teachers and
policy makers to pay greater attention to the quality of education,
and to implement creative ideas that will make a real difference.Owner: Kathy Relleen, Mary Nsernwa, Lillian R. Kallaghe, Godfrey Tellipdf: www.hakielimu.org/goodschool/Englishbook.pdf
