 When Gordon Brown announced steps to lift the crippling debt owed by the world’s poorest countries in January 2006, he was in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Tanzania’s debt burden meant that it was spending four times as much on debt as on primary education. An intensive programme of investment over the last few years has meant the government are aiming to have all primary school aged children in education by the end of 2006. But very few of those children are currently enrolling in secondary education. So how do those Tanzanian girls who have managed to continue with their studies feel about their education. How do their experiences compare with those of their peers here in the UK?
This week, Generation Next, a series of special programmes across the BBC, is dedicated to exploring the world through the eyes of young people. BBC World Swervice is attempting the biggest schools link up across the globe that has ever taken place and Woman’s Hour is taking part in BBC School Day 24 by bringing together Lauren and Jessica from a comprehensive school in South London and Jacqueline and Happiness from Tanzania’s largest city, Dar es Salaam, to discuss their education and future ambitions.School Day 24
