AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> COMPULSORY teaching of \u2018Tanzania History\u2019 subject in the country\u2019s schools will officially begin in the second term that starts in July this year, government announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

Minister for Education, Science and Technology, Prof Joyce Ndalichako, stated that the subject, which would be alongside the current history lesson, would be taught in Swahili language to make pupils and students easily grasp the knowledge.<\/p>\n

The minister was speaking at a press conference in Dodoma when briefing journalists over development reached so far ahead of introducing the new subject from early to secondary education.<\/p>\n

The ministry\u2019s move was in implementation of President John Magufuli\u2019s directive he issued last December that the ministry should make the history lesson compulsory in schools to instill patriotism in children and youth.<\/p>\n

He gave the directive when swearing in new ministers, saying; \u201cWe want this subject to be compulsory, we want our children to be taught history of their country to help impart patriotism to them,\u201d President Magufuli stated.<\/p>\n

He repeated the same yesterday in Morogoro municipality at an event to inaugurate three newly established industries, saying he was wondering why the ministry has remained silent on the matter since he issued the directive.<\/p>\n

In the ministry\u2019s quick response, the ministry convened a press conference to speak about what it has done so far to implement the order.<\/p>\n

At a press conference, Prof Ndalichako said the ministry found it ideal to make the subject compulsory because the move would build patriotism among young Tanzanians and spirit of protecting national resources and make them know how colonialists tricked Tanzania\u2019s forefathers to siphon resources from the country.<\/p>\n

The subject is also aimed at enabling the youth know how Tanzania struggled to gain independence from colonialists.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ministry took the directive by President Magufuli with desired weight and we looked at our curricula and we saw that the current history subject gives very little knowledge about Tanzania history,\u201d she acknowledged.<\/p>\n

In realizing this, the ministry prepared syllabuses for the subject to be taught from early education up to Form VI.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe syllabuses have been designed to stir patriotism among Tanzanians and make them love, value their country and protect resources,\u201d Prof Ndalichako stated as she displayed some of prepared syllabi of Tanzania’s history\u00a0 from Standard one to Seven, Form I to IV and Form V to VI.<\/p>\n

The work to prepare the syllabi were done in collaboration with various stakeholders, including the historians and several institutions in ensuring that history of Tanzania is properly documented for students.<\/p>\n

She explained that after completing preparing the syllabi, the next move would be to write books for different levels from primary school to secondary schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to write books that would attract readers; we have already told the authors to do so,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She informed that the work to write the books on Tanzania history for the schools would be complete in next March ready for printing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
