Tanzania
|
The United Republic of Tanzania is a nation in central
East Africa
bordered by Kenya and Uganda to the north, Rwanda, Burundi and the
Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west, and Zambia, Malawi and
Mozambique to the south. The country's eastern borders lie on the
Indian Ocean.
The United Republic of Tanzania is a unitary republic
composed of 26 mikoa (regions). The current head of state is
President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, elected in 2005. Since 1996, the
official capital of
Tanzania has been
Dodoma, where parliament and some government offices are located.
Between independence and
1996 the major coastal city of
Dar es Salaam
|
 |
had been the country's political capital. Today
Dar es
Salaam remains the principal commercial city of
Tanzania
and the de-facto seat of most government institutions. It is the
major seaport for the country and its landlocked neighbors.
The name
Tanzania is a portmanteau of Tanganyika and Zanzibar. The two states
united in 1964 to form the United Republic of Tanganyika and
Zanzibar, which later the same year was renamed the United Republic
of Tanzania.
Education -
Tanzania had one of the lowest secondary school enrolment statistics
in the world. Despite an increase in the number of schools, the
education system is beset with a lack of books that we aim to
tackle.
