This paper examines the survival strategies that Vulnerable School Children (VSCs)
employ to attain primary education in Tanzania. Data was generated in Makete District
which is hard-hit by HIV/AIDS and abject poverty. Pupils, teachers, community
leaders, religious leaders, NGO officers and education officers shared their experiences
on how hard VSCs struggle to participate in primary education. The study revealed
that every school in the district contains VSCs. These VSCs employ various survival
strategies to fulfil school and home needs, such as charcoal - burning and selling,
carrying raw timbers, digging and weeding farms, fetching water, carrying bricks, and
crushing stones. These preoccupations take their toll on the educational, health and
physical development prospects for these VSCs. Without remedial steps being taken
at the policy level, as well as other interventions, these difficult circumstances may
hinder the realization of basic education for every child in Makete and other areas in the
country. |
