The impact of reforms on the quality of primary education in Tanzania
Mbelle, A.V.Y. / 2008

Tanzania started implementing a comprehensive programme, the Primary Education Development Programme (PEDP) in 2002, designed to improve both access and quality. Due to the pressure resulting from high pupils/classroom ratio and high pupil/desk ratio, the government introduced a number of reforms to cope with the situation. One such measure was to introduce a double shift system in government primary schools. Dar es Salaam region was chosen as the pilot region, with the aim of extending to other regions.
