Abstract

I spent three months living with an African family in a little village of Marangu, Tanzania with hopes to learn about the education system in the area. This research included learning about the logistics of the system i.e., who goes to school, how much schooling is required, how the schools are run, and how effective the system seems to be. I wanted to learn of the views and attitudes towards education in general as well as the attitudes towards the system in Tanzania. I was interested in learning how education had affected their rich culture especially during their years as a German and then an English colony. I looked into how modern day technology had or had not influenced the schools, more specifically how often computers were used in the schools. I strived to find the best ways an individual such as myself could be of service in any way possible without encouraging their dependence upon a western country.
