One School uniform $20
School uniforms are mandatory.
Cost per child for primary school is US$20. This includes, 1 skirt or pants, blouse, sweater, 1 pair socks, shoes.
High School uniform is US$30 per child plus sports uniforms of shorts, tshirts and sneakers US$10
On top of school supplies, parents are required to pay "donations" to the school for such things as the building.
desks and other costs. These can reach amounts of US6 and up. Once again it doesn't sound like much to us who have it but
the addons and requirements are overwhelming for many parents.
|
These amounts may not seem a lot, but imagine if you had four children, and made less than US$1 per day. It is the reason
many children in Tanzania do not go to school.
