Dr Joshua Maponga - The Classroom Must Serve African Development
Joshua Maponga has done it again.
In this clip from the 3 June premiere in Dar es Salaam of The Spearhead’s documentary challenging the Western narrative on Tanzania's post-election violence, ‘What Happened on October 29?’ the philosopher called for Tanzania to toss out its colonial-era curriculum. He suggested the government prepare young people to become stewards of the east African country’s vast natural resources.
Indeed, Tanzania ranks third in Africa for critical mineral reserves. Half of Tanzania’s exports are minerals, which generate $2.5 billion annually, according to the US International Trade Administration. Plus, revenues are expected to surge to $6.6 billion by 2027.
So do you agree with Maponga that Tanzanians should develop the skills to take control of their natural wealth? And what is education like in your African country? Drop us a comment.
