Don't send children to boarding schools.

Don't send children to boarding schools

6th June 2015

t

Deputy Minister for Education and Vocational Training, Anne Kilango Malecela

The government has strongly warned parents against taking children to boarding schools, especially abroad because this spoils them.

Deputy Minister for Education and Vocational Training, Anne Kilango Malecela told the National Assembly here that the emerging trend is disastrous to the future generation and in upholding national culture.

 

“Experts have stated that children below 14 years need to live under strict parental guidance and taking them to boarding school, more so in foreign countries, is disastrous,” she said.

 

Kilango said this in response to a question by the Special Seats MP, Mkiwa Kimwaga (CUF) who wanted to know why the number of pupils going to study in the neighbouring countries of Kenya and Uganda has declined.

 

The legislator argued that between 1985 and 1998 the number of Tanzanian pupils going for primary and secondary study in the East African countries was high compared to recent years.

 

“I would like to know why many pupils no longer go to the two countries as it was in the past decades,” said Ms Kimwaga.

 

But the deputy minister in her response said most parents used to send their children abroad for primary and secondary education with a notion that there was better education in the countries compared to Tanzania.

 

“Most parents were attracted by use of English language in the foreign schools than in Tanzania where teaching languages are English and Kiswahili,” she said. She added that between 1985 and 1998 there were only 41 schools in the country that used English as the teaching language compared to the current 740 of such schools in the country.

 

In addition, secondary school opportunities in the country were small and could not accommodate all those who graduated from primary school. 

 

The deputy minister said for instance, pupils who passed standard seven examination and joined secondary schools was just 5.5 per cent  of those who sat the examination in 1985 and 19.1 per cent in 1998 compared to 55.5 per cent in 2014. In February this year, The Guardian reported on how kindergarten boarding school can spoil children.

 

It depicted one some of the parents who have come across such experiences. One Leonida Monera, a resident of Dar es Salaam said she was aware of the negative impacts of sending very young children to boarding schools but her busy family life has forced her to do so. 

”It is better to send the child to a boarding school rather than leave her to a house girl who can harm her.

 

 ”We thus agreed to register our four-year-old daughter to start a nursery boarding school in Morogoro, Monera told The Guardian.  Another parent Grayson Rweyemamu also this year sent his son to start Standard One at Msolwa Missionaries of Compassion Centre, also in Morogoro.

 

Boarding pre-schools and primary schools started in the country in the 1990s. Many of the schools have performed well, at least academically.

 

 However, professional social workers  said youth ‘raised without parental warmth, love, or caring’ are more likely to develop emotional distress, lower self esteem, schooling problems, drug use, and sexual risk behaviours.

 

 Mussa Fumu a senior social work lecturer at the Zanzibar University and Deputy Chairman of the Association of Schools of Social Work in the country said that studies reveal that at the tender age guardians are reluctant to educate them on biological issues including sexual ones. 

 

 Fumu said maternal communication is vital in parenting and often restrictive, saying this moral tone discourages youth from indulging in immoral activities.

 

 According to Kampala International University former Dean of Social Sciences Asia Mwanzi, lack of parental communications to youth leads to secret romantic relationships, cause early pregnancies.  

 

She referred to a study by researchers that involved 700 adolescents that found out that single mother children or youth being raised by non biological parents engaged in sexual activity at early age compared to children raised by both parents.

 

  She said research further proved children without parents are at greater risk of being involved in drugs use and alcohol. According to her, children with none parental guidance risk mental illness, suicide, poor educational performance, teen pregnancy, and criminality.

 

 Sipha Shabaan of the Open University of Tanzania said keeping children away damages family cohesiveness, allowing peer influence that results in alcohol and drug use as well as influencing child sexual abuse.  

 

A senior social worker and administrative manager for the Association of Schools of Social Work in Tanzania (ASSWOT) under the American Internal Health Alliance (AIHIA) Stella Mngodo said children in such circumstances develop high risk of committing suicide at adulthood due to psychological disorders compared to teens living with their parents.

 

 For example in 1988, a study of preschool children admitted to New Orleans hospitals as psychiatric patients over a 34-month period found that nearly 80 percent came from fatherless homes. The study also revealed that children living with a never-married mother are more likely to develop emotional problems.

 

"Children who don't live with both parents face behavioural problems such as less cooperativeness and lower intelligence capacity.

“They are disobedient, have poor relationships with their mothers and fathers and finally they become antisocial and mainly criminals.

 

Mwajabu Possi, Professor of Special Educational at the University of Dar es Salaam, told The Guardian that taking children to boarding schools should be the last resort when considering the children’s future.

 

 She recommended that children should join boarding school at Standard Five level and better still after completing primary education.

MPINA KUCHUKUA FOMU YA URAIS JUMATAT.

MPINA KUCHUKUA FOMU YA URAIS  JUMATAT.

MBUNGE wa Jimbo la Kisesa, Luhaga Mpina (CCM) anatarajiwa kuchukua fomu ya kugombea urais kupitia chama hicho Jumatatu ijayo.

Mpina ambaye ameshatangaza nia ya kugombea urais kupitia CCM wiki hii katika mkutano mkubwa wa hadhara uliofanyika makao makuu ya jimbo la Kisesa, Mwandoya ameliambia gazeti hili jana, kwamba kama atafanikiwa kuingia Ikulu atabadili utendaji kazi serikalini na kuleta ahueni ya maisha kwa Watanzania wote.

Alisema katika mazingira haya haiwezekani nchi kuwa na vipaumbele, huku kukiwa hakuna fedha za kugharamia vipaumbele hivyo kutokana na msingi huo Serikali ya awamu ya tano atakayoiongoza kipaumbele chake cha kwanza na cha pili ni kuongeza ufanisi katika ukusanyaji wa mapato ya ndani na usimamizi thabiti wa fedha za na rasilimali za umma.

Alitaja vipaumbele vingine kuwa vitakuwa elimu, afya, maji, miundombinu ya kiuchumi (Barabara, umeme, mawasiliano, viwanda, kilimo vitakuwa vinabadilika kila mwaka kulingana na mahitaji.

Alisema changamoto ambazo bado zinalikabili taifa letu ni nyingi na zinahitaji kiongozi ambaye atakuwa tayari kujitoa mhanga na bila uwoga wowote hata kama ni katika mazingira magumu namna gani na hata kupoteza maisha awe tayari.

"Hapa naweka wazi kuwa ninao uwezo mkubwa wa kumudu majukumu ya Amiri Jeshi Mkuu wa nchi kwamba siogopi kitu chochote na niko tayari kwa lolote lile katika mapambano ya kulitumikia taifa langu, kwani ni heri punda aumie lakini mzigo wa tajiri ufike," alisema Mpina.

Mpina alisema kutokana na uzoefu alioupata katika kipindi chake cha miaka 10 ya ubunge wa Bunge la Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, na miaka 5 ya ubunge wa Bunge la Afrika (PAP) pia Kamishna Vyuo Vikuu (TCU) kwa kipindi cha miaka 6 amegundua kuwa changamoto kubwa kuliko zote nchini na Afrika kwa ujumla ni udhaifu katika ukusanyaji wa mapato ya ndani na usimamizi duni wa fedha na rasilimali za umma.

Hivyo alisema Serikali yeyote haiwezi kuwa na kipaumbele kama haina fedha au kama ina matumizi mabaya ya fedha na rasilimali za umma akitolea mfano hivi sasa hapa nchini matumizi ya kawaida ni makubwa kuliko mapato ya ndani, taarifa za wakaguzi CAG na PPRA zinathibitisha upotevu mkubwa wa fedha za umma kila mwaka, taarifa za TMAA na TEITI zinaonyesha utoroshaji mkubwa wa madini hapa nchini na ukwepaji wa kodi.

Mpina alisema sababu zilizomsukuma kugombea urais ni pamoja na kutoridhishwa na ukusanyaji wa mapato yasiyotosheleza mahitaji, imekuwa ikiripotiwa ukwepaji mkubwa wa kodi bandarini, mikataba mibovu ya madini na gesi, makampuni makubwa yanayokwepa kodi MNEs kwa mbinu mbalimbali ikiwemo Transfer Pricing, misamaha ya kodi isiyokuwa na tija, mfumo duni wa ukusanyaji wa maduhuli.

"Naamini kuwa endapo maeneo haya yatasimamiwa kikamilifu mapato ya serikali yataongezeka na kuwa kati ya mara 2 hadi mara 3 ya mapato yanayokusanywa hivi sasa. Nikipewa ridhaa nimejiandaa vizuri sana katika eneo hili kwa kuwekeza rasilimali fedha na watu, kuongeza ufanisi na kudhibiti mianya yote ya upotevu wa mapato ya serikali," alisema Mpina.

Pia fedha za Serikali zilizokopwa na kampuni binafsi na zimekaidi kulipa ambapo hadi leo kuna watu, kampuni zimekopa fedha za serikali zaidi ya shilingi trilioni 2 lakini wamekaidi kulipa madeni hayo pamoja na kwamba wanao uwezo wa kulipa fedha hizo na kusisitiza kuwa haiwezekani kuendelea kutoza kodi watu maskini halafu wengine wanajimilikisha fedha za umma kinyemela. Watu kama hawa katika serikali yake watakuwa wa kwanza kufilisiwa ili kurejesha fedha hizo za umma.


Mpina alisema utoroshaji wa fedha nje ya nchi Tanzania imekuwa ikiripotiwa kuwa miongoni mwa nchi ambazo utoroshaji wa fedha nje ya nchi ni mkubwa ambapo ni zaidi ya asilimia 2 ya pato la Taifa hutoroshwa na kufichwa nje ya nchi na watu wachache. Mapato ambayo yangeweza kujenga miundombinu ya kiuchumi, kutoa huduma za kijamii na kuondoa umaskini badala yake zinakuwa ni fedha za wachache.

"Kwa waliozoea kufuja, kuiba, kufanya ubadhirifu ni bora waachie ngazi kabla sijaapishwa; na kwa wale walioficha fedha nje ya nchi ni bora wazirejeshe nchini mapema kabla sijaapishwa kwani wote hawa watakiona cha mtemakuni kwani hatari inayokuja kwao ni heri wasingezaliwa," alisema huku akishangiliwa na umati mkubwa uliohudhuria mkutano huo.

Kuhusu uteuzi wa mawaziri, Mpina alisema mawaziri wengi wamekuwa wakifanya kazi kwa mazoea na kushindwa kumudu majukumu yao wamekuwa wakifanya sherehe pindi wanapoteuliwa kushika nyadhifa hizo, swali la kujiuliza iweje mtu aliyekabidhiwa majukumu mazito sawa na kutolewa kafala afanye sherehe?

"Mfano, Waziri wa Afya anawezaje kufurahia uteuzi na kufanya sherehe huku akijua kuna Watanzania wanakufa kwa kukosa matibabu? Mawaziri nitakao wateua watakuwa wametolewa kafala kulitumikia Taifa lao na hivyo hakuna namna yeyote ambayo wanaweza kufanya sherehe mbali ya kwenda misikitini na makanisani kuombewa. Hakutakuwa na muda maalum kwa mawaziri kufukuzwa na kuondolewa kazini. Na kwamba uteuzi utakuwa wa usaili wa kuandika na mahojiano ili kuthibitisha uwezo wa nafasi anayoiomba," alisema Mpina.

UCHAGUZI WA BUNGE BURUNDI WAAHIRISHWA

UCHAGUZI WA BUNGE BURUNDI WAAHIRISHWA

UCHAGUZI  wa wabunge uliokuwa umepangwa kufanyika Juni 5 na ule wa rais uliokuwa umepangwa kufanyika Juni 26 umeahirishwa na hakuna tarehe mpya iliyotajwa ya kufanyika tena uchaguzi huo.

Msemaji wa Rais Pierre Nkurunziza, Willy Nyamitwe, amesema kuwa tume ya uchaguzi itapanga upya zoezi hilo kwa kuzingatia mapendekezo yaliyotolewa na viongozi wa Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki pamoja na mipaka ya katiba ya nchi na kisha kutangaza tarehe mpya ya kufanyika zoezi hilo.

Aidha kufuatia tangazo hilo la kuahirishwa uchaguzi wa bunge na rais, kambi ya upinzani nchini humo imesema kuwa iko tayari kukutana na upande wa serikali kwa ajili ya kuendeleza mazungumzo ya kuutafutia ufumbuzi mgogoro wa kisiasa unaoikabili nchi hiyo ya Afrika Mashariki.

Hata hivyo Viongozi wa EAC waliokutana Dar es Salaam, Tanzania wiki moja iliyopita kujadili mgogoro wa Burundi, walipendekeza uchaguzi wa bunge na rais uahirishwe kwa siku 45 ili kutoa nafasi kwa hali ya mambo kutulia na wakimbizi kurudi nyumbani.

Aidha kitendo cha  Rais Nkurunziza kutangaza kuwania urais kwa awamu ya tatu, ni kitendo kilichopingwa na watu wengi nchini humo na kusababisha mauaji ya watu wengi sana.
