Also education means functions as an instrument to uphold and
maintain the norms and ethic of the society for the sake of its survival and continuity, also
education is a tool which save to achieve the good of the society or the collective good rather
than saving as a total with which to achieve the good of the individual, (Nyerere 1967) In general

and cultural context
...

According to Nyerere (1967)
...
The
following are different ideas concerning education for liberation by starting with;
Walter Rodney (1942 -1988);
He was born in Guyana of Caribbean islands, he won a scholarship to attend Queens
College, and he was among the radical historian who took up his first teaching appointment in
University of Dares salaam before returning to her mother country of Guyana
...
He insisted for Africans education to resemble with African
environment by changing curriculum and syllabus which based in African environment and
should adhere political, social and economic activities such as Agriculture, Africans traditional
2

values and social environment
...

Education should give confidence and self dependence, Walter Rodney criticized the kind of
education that was provided during colonial period
...

Frantz Fanon (1925-1961)
He was sent as a doctor in Algerian French colony but latter turned as political activist in
Africa centered in Algeria during the struggle for independence in Africa
...


...
He provided the only solution is through decolonization
process that should unify people on a national basis to fight for liberation and national culture
and to create a new history of man and to review on pre –colonial education tracing back various
kingdom and empire that had developed African way of education like Songhai Empire and
Egypt kingdom
...
Fanon said that, it is the name of Arabism that these men joined together and that they
try to think together everywhere, however in the Arab world national feelings has preserved even
under colonial domination, a weakness that we fail to find it in Africa, so he tried to show how
Arabs united and it must be the same in Africa, (Fanon 1963)
...
He is the founders of African socialism called Ujamaa and self-reliance
...
According to Nyerere joined the idea of development and education for liberation
argued that political, social and economic organization is needed to enlarge the freedom and
dignity of man
...

Contribution towards education and liberation, his concern was to find a way in which these
conditions could be transformed through their own action as nobody else will do the job for
them
...
For man does not develop
himself in a vacuum in isolation from his society and his environment and he certainly cannot be
developed by others, man consciousness is developed in the process of thinking and deciding
and of acting
...

Paul Freire, (1921-1997)
He is a Brazilian educator and philosopher who is best known for his literacy on
Conscientization and dialogue
...

His contribution on education for liberation, he

proposed that, the

methodology and

educational philosophy necessary for the dispossessed people in underdeveloped countries, for
him ignorance and laziness is the product of the whole situation of economic ,social and political
denomination and of paternalism of which they were victims , people were not encouraged and
equipped to know and respond to concrete reaction of their world
...
Therefore
education system was one of the instruments responsible for the maintenance of this culture
...

Summing up education contribute much to liberation, those ideas of these great men can still
work if they can be considered and practiced as much as possible, the liberated citizens may lead
to liberated nation especially the developing nations like Tanzania should intense on providing
practical education that can lead to development of applicable skills and development of
innovation that can lubricate the roles of development in both social, economic and political
aspect
