English should be taught since primary and nursery level in Tanzania. Education is a material that one can acquire either oral or written means from another person. In Tanzania, most government schools in primary level educate their students in Kiswahili besides private schools where students are taught in English language from primary till the secondary level. In my insist, education in government schools should educate their students in English from primary till secondary level.
First and foremost, educating students in English improves a student grammatically in English language. Most of the students who graduated their primary level in government schools find a difficult in communicating English with other fellows due to little knowledge he/she has in English language.
But at times some students lack a spirit of confidence even though he/she has knowledge in English language. This situation affects students because students since their childhood they have been taught in Kiswahili during primary level then they are forced to learn and understand English in secondary level.
Whereby a student also finds a difficult in attempting questions during examinations time hence leading to increased failures within candidates. In addition, my brother and l have a different education status actually he studied in government school known as Maendeleo Primary School then to Kijichi Secondary School well as l studied in private school known as St.Mary’s International Primary School then to Masaka Exodus Vocational Secondary School which is allocated in Masaka, Uganda.
Due to his experience, he says that most of the bright students during primary level decline in their results during secondary level due to difficult in English hence failure to attempt questions during examinations. This situation has also lead to high rate of school drop-outs. Most students fail to complete their education in secondary level thinking that education in secondary level is too difficult for them to achieve their goals.
Secondly, educating students in English will ease communication means with the foreign traders during trade. Recently, Tanzania has been officially announced among semi-developed countries in the world this means that most foreigners are coming to invest business in Tanzania even though some foreign traders such as Arab investors, Indian and Chinese investors have already invested their businesses in Tanzania.
In this case, since most of the Tanzanian citizens will be used to English speaking, it will ease trade among the Tanzanian traders and the foreign investors hence developing trade and earning more foreign currency in Tanzania.
Sincerely speaking, most of the foreign investors find a difficult in trading due to language barrier. In this matter, we need to improve in our English to ease communication means during trade.
To keep the ball rolling, educating our students in English it will reduce language barriers in some centers such as tourism. Recently, Her Excellence Samia Suluhu Hassan the president of the United Republic of Tanzania just filmed a documentary basing on the tourism of Tanzania. The documentary film is known as “Royal Tour”.
This documentary movie has attracted most of the tourists to come and tour the beautiful features of Tanzania. Some of the beautiful features in Royal tour include; wildlife, lakes, waterfalls, mountains and so many to mention.
This means that the Tanzanian tour guides should be able to communicate with the tourists with the common language known as English in a way of reducing misunderstandings between the foreign tourist and a guider hence showing a state of hospitality to the tourists which will convenience them to come and invest in tourism industry of Tanzania. Her Excellence speaking English in the documentary movie throughout is a real life proof to show that English must be taught to all Tanzanians.
Am a hundred percent sure that few citizens of Tanzania understood what Her Excellence was talking about in the documentary movie. This is due to little knowledge that citizens of Tanzania have in English.
Obviously speaking, educating our students in English from childhood will lead to high increase rate of employment opportunities to the citizens of Tanzania in foreign institutions. The state of not knowing English has also led to high rate of unemployed people in Tanzania.
Most of the citizens are denied jobs in some places due to difficult in English speaking hence increasing poverty to the citizens of Tanzania. Remember as l was saying, most of the foreign investors are coming to invest businesses in Tanzania. These investors need citizens that can easily communicate with them in English so that to reduce on the expenses of translators. Quote me guys, “l am not saying that Kiswahili should be abandoned”.
The only thing that l am trying to mean is that all subjects should be taught in English besides Kiswahili which MUST be compulsory from primary till secondary level so that our students wouldn’t forget their traditions. For this case, we shall have fought to the increased number of failures in Tanzania during secondary level.
In fact, I don’t prefer this current orientation of Tanzania which states that “Education should be educated in Kiswahili throughout all levels''.
