Iweje kuna watu humu na kwenye blogs wanataka kutuaminisha hii tuzo imetolewa na United Nations?????
Sintoshangaa kama wamenunua hii award.
Sasa sihitaji miwani kustukia hii move iliyojificha nyuma ya TAASISI ZA UN.Well, Maadam shirika la Marekani ndio litasambaza umeme nchini (bara) kwa fedha ya MDG (badala ya Tanesco), huo mradi pekee unatosha kupewa zawadi kubwa zaidi ya - Puppet of America.
Hiyo ni fake kwa sababu MDG 2 achieve universal education inajumuisha enrolment and completion of primary education - quantity and quality. Tanzania bado sana kwenye hilo!
Ukifikiria maswala ya Primary education ya Tanzania, Yanaleta hadi njaa mkuu.Hiyo ni fake kwa sababu MDG 2 achieve universal education inajumuisha enrolment and completion of primary education - quantity and quality. Tanzania bado sana kwenye hilo!
Nnyambala kigumu kipi? kilichopimwa ni uandikishaji wa watoto kuingia shule na si ubora wa elimu itolewyo au wangapi wanoingia wanamliza darasa la saba. Tayari kuna asasi inayofanya utafiti wa kuangalia ubora wa elimu kwa kuangalia uelewa wa wavigezo vyao kwa watoto wa darasa la pili,k.m hesabu, kusoma, kuandika. Sasa matokeo hay yatatupa ukweli kama ni bora elimu au elimu bora. Nilpokuwa mwanafunzi shule yetu tulikuwa na waalimu ambao mtoto asipoweza kuja kusoma na kuandika anapomaliza darasa la kwanza bas lazima akaririr darasa na mwak ujao mboko zitakuwa jadi yake mpaka aimprove. Natamani walimu wa leo wangekuwa na ari hiyo!!Tanzania imefanya vizuri katika Lengo la Elimu la kuhakikisha Watoto wote wanaandikishwa shuleni, na kufikia Asilimia 95 mpaka sasa.*
membership yenyewe ya hiyo organisation ni mpaka ulipie.. ina maana kwamba hata akina pinda au kikwete walilipia ili nao wawemo kwenye hiyo organisation...(waje wapewe tuzo baadae)
Hiyo NGO ya wazungu ni ya watu wanafiki sana.. wanatafutiana ulaji NA KUJUANA huku Africa na kutudanganya kwamba Tanzania imepiga maendeleo kwenye elimu.. sijui elimu ya wapi inayozungumziwa.. labda ni ya ujenzi wa shule za chakachua/kata na walimu wa voda fasta...wanafunzi wanaanza millioni moja na wanofika form six hata laki moja hawafiki.. ndio maendeleo hayo ya kupiga hatua.. labda ni maendeleo kwa mwendo wa kinyonga na konokono...
mambo ya ajabu sana haya... Ole wao hao wanojitia vimbelembele vya kwenda kupokea tuzo na kuoa press release halafu wanapinga elimi bure haiwezekani...
Iweje kuna watu humu na kwenye blogs wanataka kutuaminisha hii tuzo imetolewa na United Nations?????
Ngoja nitoe mchango wangu nami!
In 2000, 189 world leaders including Tanzania committed to eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) ranging from halving extreme poverty and hunger and rolling back killer diseases such as AIDS and Malaria and providing universal primary education. In short MDGs consists of
Political commitment is highly needed to achieve these MDGs, wanaposema "to achieve universal primary education, this goal should go hand in hand with the quality. Si zile shule za Lowassa,Kata na hata za msingi hakuna waalimu na kama wapo basi wale wa vodafasta! I am not convinced Tanzania has achieved any of the MDGs, sababu kwanza Ufisadi tulionao ni wa kufa mtu. Umasikini na ufukara uliokubuhu umeongezeka sana,hasa kipindi hiki cha Kikwete hata tukienda kwenye elimu ya msingi there no many new primary school rather than flooding the existing ones with poor students, with no books and teachers.
- Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
- Achieve universal primary education
- Promote gender equality and empower women
- Reduce Child Mortality Rate
- Improve maternal health
- Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases
- Ensure environmental sustainability
- Develop a global partnership for development
Moja ya shule za Msingi Tanzania kwenye Karne hii ya 21. (On the photo are the pupils of Juhudi Primary School in Kigoma Rural – district in Kigoma region)
Hao agent wa UN, wametumia indicator zipi kuaminisha ulimwengu kuwa Tanzania inastahili award? This is a million dollar question, Pinda, Kinana na Joti (Kikwete) hawawezi kujibu. There is no statistic package that can convince otherwise. Our economy is going down, shilling inashuka kila kukicha kwa sisi kufikia malengo ya MDGs chini ya hawa CCM ni ndoto. Lets agree to bury the MDGs in the graveyard we can't move ahead chini ya uongozi wa Kikwete
Lets go for a change
