The Paper also discusses the concept of gender in relation to education of people with disabilities in Tanzania.From The discussions it is apparent that there are more males than females with disabilities in Tanzania.The Situation may be due to some bias in determining prevalence of disabilities. The Bias may result from the fact that boys are biologically vulnerable than males.Girls With disabilities in TanzaniaHave not had equal access to education compared to boys,especially at higher institutions of learning.Some Of the reasons advanced for the imbalances may be.
