dc.description.abstractThis study investigated •the teaching of Vocational Skills (Stadi za Kazi) in Tanzanian Primary Schools and how it really takes place, how and why. Teaching of Vocational Skills was chosen as the subject of interest because most of the unemployed youth in the country are primary school leavers. The study was conducted in six primary schools in Dar es Salaam region using a sample of 180 pupils, 31 primary school teachers, six head teachers, and two ministerial officials from the Directorate of Primary Education, Ministry of Education and Vocational Training. Data was collected through questionnaires, face-to-face interviews, observation, and focus group discussions to extract facts and real situation that took place in the delivery of vocational skills to pupils. In order to extract the desired information from respondents, four major questions were answered. The study found that the types of skills taught in the schools did not focus the nation's labor market. The teaching of Vocational Skills (VS) subject faced a lack of trained teachers, teaching and learning materials, training equipment and facilities as well as financial resources. It was, therefore, concluded that, the teaching of VS did not enable pupils to become self-reliant or employable upon completing primary schooling. Therefore, it was recommended that the contemporary VS program be scrapped to allow a well prepared one to replace it for effective teaching and learning of the subject.en_US
