Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Education for Self Reliance
1. Colonial education was segregative and pyramidal, filtering most pupils out early. 2. The government answered with a set of reforms, starting by abolishing discrimination and expanding facilities. 3. Education for Self Reliance was the policy that redefined what schooling was for, tying it to rural and national needs. 4. Universal Primary Education followed, widening access at the base of the pyramid. 5. Later measures included private secondary schools in the 1990s, cost sharing in higher education, and the Education Sector Development Plan. _Source: NECTA ACSEE 2023 History 112/1, Question 1: Political and Economic Development in Tanzania_
