Abstract	Increased participation in decision-making at the grass-roots level is one of the principal objectives of Tanzania's development strategy. Since the political decision to commit Tanzania to a path of socialism, restructuring the educational system has become a cornerstone to achieving the desired participation. This paper focuses on case studies of the adult education network, a mass health education campaign, and an experimental community school project. Constraints and contradictions within the Tanzanian system include the continued use of achievement exams at the end of primary school, as well as conflicts between expectations for "Education for Self-Reliance" and the reality of incomplete structural changes in the economic system. The resolution of these conflicts lies in the production of the rural education system and in increasing links with production where such links do not yet exist. (Author)
