Tanzania and its Education

Tanzania was one of the few African countries that attempted to create a socialist society, mostly through their current president at the time, Julius Nyerere. He promoted nationalizing industries, restricting foreign investments, caps on income, but after almost twenty years he left the country without much progress and rural and urban poverty. Nyerere claims that he improved the social and economic conditions, but just looking at the education in Tanzania tells us that this is not entirely true. Although Tanzania's adult literacy rate of 69.4% is higher than the average African region og 60.1% and the male and female education enrollment is 83% and 80%, if Nyerere's only claim to success is of bettering the social and economic conditions (i.e. education) than there is not much to claim.
