POLICY AND PRACTICE IN ADULT EDUCATION A DISTRICT CASE-STUDY
Abstract
The importance of adult education for national development was impliedin the Arusha Declaration (1967). The Second Five Year Plan (1969-1974)
first spelt out the content and strategies for implementing adult education in
the country. In President Nyerere's speech of December 1969, the official
policy on adult education was proclaimed, to be further reflected in subsequent
policies such as "Mwongozo" (1972) and the recent Musoma Resolutions
(1974). But so far little is known about the actual programmes themselves
and how they operate in a given region, district or village.
