Abstract	Emphasis placed on adult education in Tanzania stems directly from the decision to bring about development through an egalitarian rural transformation. The political decision to stress socialist development with priority to those living in rural areas preceded the creation of the adult education network and shaped its structures and organization. The basic unit of the network is the community school which serves during part of the day as the primary school for children while operating in the afternoons as an adult education center. The subjects that are taught at each center vary depending on the interests of the people, the availability of teachers, and the development priorities in the district. To carry out the large tasks assigned to adult education, a network of supervisory and coordinating personnel has been established. Four types of adult education programs which operate through the network are functional literacy programs, discussions of national policies, short-term mass education programs, and local education programs. (This paper includes a discussion of institutions and organizations which have a major adult education role, such as Kivukoni College, workers' education organizations, rural training centers, cooperative education agencies, the Tanganyika Library Service, and the Institute of Adult Education. Five questions about the relationship of education and development which the author feels need fuller treatment conclude this paper.) (EM)
