The Civics and General Studies Syllabus prepared by the Ministry of Education of Tanzania requires teachers to cover a considerable amount of legal materials. Yet there is no single sourcebook, which provides them with the necessary materials to assist them in the teaching of civics. This sourcebook is a resource for teachers and students, providing a comprehensive treatment of the subject, which closely follows the syllabus published by the Ministry of Education. Organised in seven parts and twenty two chapters, the sourcebook covers all important legal issues: sources of law, classification and division of law, the state and civil society, constitutional principles, Tanzania constitutional history and constitution-making, human rights, basic rights and duties in the Union and Zanzibar constitutions, international organisations (UN, AU, EAC, World Bank, IMF, GATT, WTO etc.), children rights, reproductive rights; the court system, environment and natural resources, nationalisations, liberalisation, and regulatory law. At the end of each part, short bibliographic notes are included for further reading. Prepared primarily for the needs of secondary school students, the book is tailored also to meet the needs of the laypeople needing legal guidance and information, civil society organisations, NGOs, and those involved in advocacy work. Students in institutions of higher education will benefit from the book as a foundation for their own courses.
