Constutional and Legal System of Tanzania

A Civics Sourcebook

The Civics and General Studies Syllabus prepared by the Ministry of Education of Tanzania requires teachers to cover a considerable amount of legal material. Yet there is no single sourcebook, which provides them with the necessary material to assist them in the teaching of Civics. This source book is as resource for teachers and students, providing a comprehensive treatment of the subject, which closely follows the syllabus and also tailored to meet the needs of the layperson needing legal guidance and information, civil society organisations, NGOs, and those involved in advocacy work.
