| dc.description.abstract | The poor socio-economic background of many primary school pupils especially in rural areas is still one of the major challenges facing the country today. Holistic approach to addressing problems of vulnerable children that touches all aspects of children’s lives is required. This study was done in Arusha region in 2008 to student centres sponsored by Compassion International Tanzania (CIT). The study investigated the impact of CIT as an example of the faith based organisations in supporting public primary education. It employed multi-stage random sampling technique. The first stage was to select 10 student centres sponsored by CIT thereafter followed by randomly selection of 10 pupils, boys and girls, from each student centre. Purposive sampling was used to select key information providers who were: primary school teachers, student centres staff, and CIT head office staff. Data from questionnaires was analysed by computer using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 12.0 (SPSS 12.0 for windows). Descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages were employed to address the patterns of the findings. The results showed CIT’s support to public primary school pupils enhanced good environment for learning by addressing the socio-economic backgrounds of the children. Furthermore, they helped to retain pupils in schools, improve their social welfare as well as their ethical standards though many poor children are yet to be reached by CIT. In order to improve education in Tanzania the study recommended as follows; there is a need of direct measures on addressing the socio-economic background of the poor primary school pupils. Strong partnership between both public and private sectors be strengthened. The contribution of private sectors needs to be appreciated-by the government and integrated into the government strategies. | en_US |
