Where is Tanzania?
Tanzania is located in East Africa just south of the country of Kenya. Tanzania is a country full of natural wonders and tourist attractions. From the plains of the Serengeti, to beautiful Lake Victoria, the white sand beaches of Zanzibar, and the looming shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania is a sprawling country with a population of around 45 million. Like many African countries, the country is mostly undeveloped and areas such as education have not been fully supported and as a result there are many schools with teachers who are not equipped to deal with such large numbers of students in the classroom and because of this it is very difficult ensure a high quality education for the students in these schools.
