ARUSHA, Tanzania, Feb.3 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese influence in Tanzanian soil is increasingly becoming big and bold. This can be seen after the Asian nation built two ultra-modern primary schools in Tanzania.
The schools have been built in Tanzania's University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) and University of Dodoma (UDOM) campuses.
China built the two schools under the Sino-Africa Friendship Primary Schools Project worth 3.23 million U.S. dollars.
The schools are fully furnished with all modern teaching and learning facilities, and students enrolled in those schools will have chance of learning Chinese language and culture from Standard One to Standard Seven.
Speaking at the inauguration the project Monday, charge d'affaires from the Chinese Embassy in Dar es Salaam, Zhang Biao, said the project is part of the Chinese efforts to support to Tanzania's education sector.
"China is aware of Tanzania's endeavor to enhance education and develop its human resources. China will continue to provide support in this important sector,"said the Chinese official.
"Not far from where I'm standing, the construction of a modern Library and Confucius Institute are about to start with the assistance of Chinese government and more will be followed, such as the construction of Kagera Vocational Training College and the rehabilitation of the National Institute of Transport,"he added.
Dr. Leonard Akwilapo, Deputy Permanent Secretary with Tanzania's Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Vocational Training (MESTV), lauded China for extending its support to Tanzania's education sector.
"China remains and will continue to remain as Tanzania's closet and true friend. These have been seen in different arena, like what we see today," Akwilapo said.
He said the project will help in improving education status in the country as the newly built schools have all the required teaching and learning facilities.
"We believe this modern-built classrooms will help the students to get quality of education that can benefit their future and the country at large," Akwilipo said.
"These schools came at the time when the University of Dar es Salaam and University of Dodoma have started offering courses in the Chinese language through a new Confucius Institute," the official said, encouraging more Tanzanian students to embrace the Chinese language courses
The project came at the time when the MESTV already picked six secondary schools for a special program for students to learn Chinese language starting this year.
Already 12 Chinese language teachers from China have completed a teaching methodology course on how to teach the subject in the six selected secondary schools.

All I can say is, “Good luck with all that.”
"Dock that n----r a day's pay for nappin' on the job."
Yard boss be comin’, got a new name!
But meet da new boss, same as da old boss..
It’s interesting...
on the one hand, I found an article lamenting the high youth unemployment due to better-Educated Kenyans getting all the jobs and Tanzania’s population having a very high percentage of yourh.
Then there’s another article lamenting child labor in the mines... so the NGOs are pushing for a crackdown on mines, especially “unlicensed” ones, as if taking the jobs away will then give kids more time to study. The problem I see with that is that the crackdown will put the heaviest pressure on locally owned mines while multinational mines will have no problem getting licenses and bribing inspectors, so eventually all the land will be in foreign hands, and jobless kids still won’t be able to study.
Of course as it happens, the Clintons have been nosing around Tanzania and this is also where one of Hillary’s helpers has been investing... the one with a company called Black Ivy.
Would not be surprised, what with all the natural gas being discovered. Norwegians are there too.

Just skimming thru links bere... looks like the Clinton Foundation’s been involved in this project in Tanzania that’s supposed to be a cooperative arrangement between government, the Masai herdsmen, and various other interests including Thompson Safaris. As a result over 25% if the land is now in government hands. Sounds like some think it is turning into one of those old Cherokee land swindles.
Sounds a little like what’s being done in the US western states too:

Can’t tell what the photo captioned “Hillary Clinton Shop” is... maybe she took a Thomson Safaris tour ow was an investor..
Never happen.
The Chinese overlord paid off the plantation head, the President, and he will use his troops to make sure the rest stay in line.
Any bloodshed will be black on black, no Chinese will be touched.
African blacks and American blacks have different temperments and attitudes. Blacks in Tanzania don’t have the attitude of a perpetually aggrieved minority .... because they are not a minority.
The Chinese need to read Kipling. “When your goal is nearest, your hope for others sought, watch sloth and heathen folly bring all your works to naught”.
Given the current birthrates of the continent vs. the PRC, that seems highly unlikely.
The "Bros" might just get a surprise and find out how ruthless the Chinese can be when somebody tries to take away their stuff.
And when that happens, I will laugh and laugh.
If it was just a matter of the birth rate in China today vs the birth rate of Africans in Africa today, yes.
I’m not thinking that Chinese colonists will hold down their birth rate, or support the Africans.
