Abstract

The above-mentioned book comprises of articles jointly edited by Theophil M. Sule, Noel J. Ntawigaya and Elia S. Mligo. The purpose of this book is to critically evaluate Tanzania’s Development goals towards Industrial Economy and its process towards achievement. The issues addressed in this book are in the form of individual articles presented by Tanzanian scholars. The first article written by Noel Julius Ntawigaya is about the role of primary education to industrialization and industrial economy. The article argues that Primary education is the important grassroots level education toward industrial economy. Ntawigaya looks at primary level education as the foundation of the nation toward its achievements; this means that, if the investment in primary education meets with the need of the nation towards industrial economy, this will build a foundation toward it. ―Work-oriented and learning by doing (practical education) are the reliable solutions towards the development of creative and innovative minds which fulfil the needs of industrial economic development‖ (p.31).
