Post independence Era<br />
‣ Immediately after independence in 1961, the<br />
government felt that leaving adult ill<strong>it</strong>eracy<br />
untouched would be unwise, <strong>it</strong> would delay the<br />
country's development for generations.<br />
‣ The First President Mwalimu Nyerere believed<br />
that the country's development depended<br />
entirely on the work done by l<strong>it</strong>erate men and<br />
women<br />
‣ He declared, I quote: “First, we must educate<br />
the adults; the adults have an immediate<br />
impact to the development <strong>of</strong> this<br />
country’s economy” (URT 1964)
