My point here is that poverty prevents the marginalized children from quality education access, at the same time hindering them from selecting the school of their choice Wedgwood (2007) contended that Tanzania had reached the universal primary education in the past, and the maximum number of adults could read and write. Yet to the contrary, the country remains one of the poorest in Africa. The reason for the situation, Wedgwood (2007) blamed the teaching, learning arrangement, and the atmosphere in which primary school leavers lived after graduation. In summing up her point, I would say, if Tanzania desires development, then investment in health, infrastructure, agriculture, and improved education focusing on elevating the poor must be a priority.

Secondary school education on the other hand, is basically prohibitive, thus barring the rural children whose parents cannot afford the cost of education access (Hartwig, 2013). Reflecting to that concept, it would be wise to reflect the ideas of “Liberal-humanist Social justice of Rawls (1971) quoted in (Rizvi 2008), who defines social justice in terms of poor families being price sensitive. Hence, creating an endowment fund for the marginalized children would support them to access quality education (World Bank, 2011; Bagree, Gill & O’ Reilly, 2012). Definitely I believe that, endowment fund, would ease the school contributions and needs for poor parents who seek quality education for their children and barely afford …show more content…
Table 1: 2: 1below demonstrates that the death of 2,829 children as one of the reasons for child 's truancy from primary school (URT-MoEVT, 2012). I would maintain that children die from treatable deceases, when parents fail to identify the illnesses of children in the early stages. The problem increases when mothers have no education, and they can hardly identify the illness in their children. The immature deaths of children in one of the regions, I worked prompted my attention to a little boy Julius, whom I encountered during one of the religious classes. Looking at him, I realized, the boy Julius had a health problem, yet, none of his family recognized it. However, as sad it was, the boys’ mother had a psychosomatic illness, and dad, was a police officer positioned to work far from his family for months before he could come back home. Hence, Julius aged 12 years lived and accompanied with his brother Joseph 14 years old to school each morning. After observing Julius each time we met in class, I asked Joseph, if his younger brother Julius had health problems. Responding to my question, Joseph uttered, “He has no problem,” but anyone encountered with Julius could tell clearly that the boy was
