The Tanzanian education system consists of several levels, including primary, secondary, and higher education. Primary education lasts for seven years, followed by four years of secondary education. The government provides free primary education, aiming to increase enrollment rates and improve literacy. After secondary school, students can pursue higher education at universities and colleges. The National Council for Technical Education oversees technical and vocational training, promoting skills development. The system faces challenges such as limited resources and disparities in access, particularly in rural areas, but efforts are ongoing to enhance educational quality and accessibility.
