Education is one of the most important sector in any nation. It is the responsibility of a government to set and launch national education policy and participate in setting up international policies on education. Countries have been investing much in education especially primary and secondary education, regarded as a basic education. Since independence 1961, Tanzania has made various efforts in broadening the education service to her people. This is to ensure that education service is accessible to nearly every Tanzanian. In Tanzania, the first effort of Fee Free Education was instigated in 1963 to ensure that majority of Tanzanians get education and to remove the enrolment gap between poor and rich households. Therefore, government financed and provided free education from primary to university level. International efforts on ensuring free education for all also guided Tanzania towards implementation of free education. World Conference on Education for All (EFA) held on 1990 at Jomtien in Thailand rearticulated the desire of achieving Universal Primary Education by 2000.
