    African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research, Mzumbe, 2nd - 7th July 1979: Rural vocational education in Tanzania: an exploratory research
    (African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research, 1979-07-07) Mshana, R.; Bhita, T.
    This report documents exploratory research conducted by R. Mshana and T. Bhita on rural vocational education in Tanzania, aiming to address youth unemployment by equipping primary school leavers with practical skills for self-employment. The research critically examines the inherited class-based education system, emphasizing its limitations in a dependent economy. It explores efforts by the Christian Council of Tanzania to collaborate with the government in transforming vocational education to support rural development. The research methodology focused on community participation, involving teams of local workers, peasants, and students, and underscored that research should not be monopolized by academic institutions. The project fostered a dialogue on democratizing knowledge and empowering communities through participatory research.
