Since the Arusha Declaration in 1967, Adult Education in Tanzania has become a major instrument in national development. Programs in literacy, health care and hygiene, and in the acquisition of technical competence have been parti cularly successful because adult education has been approached as an intrinsic and meaningful part of the learner's life. The purpose of education has changed from the learning of skills to the learn ing of self-reliance and the improvement of life in both individual and national levels. For example, in the teaching of literacy, attention is focused on subjects such as health, agricultural techniques, or political responsibilities and literacy is included in response to demand as the learners become aware of its functional importance. This paper critically reviews various adult education programs in Tanzania, particularly focusing on "Literacy for Working" and radio programs with discussion groups.

"The world ecological system is marked by difference throughout. There is social difference with different identities, shifting and transmuting, being forged, and extra-human differences. All these have implications for intra human and human/non-human earth relations. This aspect is not always recognised and valorised. Education, though not an independent variable, still can be mobilised, together with other sources of potential transformation, to redress this situation marked by aggressions, micro and macro, inertia and indifference. It represents a number of immediate challenges for Adult Education. This compendium is intended as a useful resource in this regard. It maps out a kaleidoscope of myriad differences and suggests options for overcoming the various obstacles that stand opposed to those who seek fulfilment in the way they are discursively located. The obstacles are a dent on efforts to living in communion with the rest of the cosmos. The utopian view is that of different species living in harmony with each other. This book emphasises social/ecological justice, intersectionality and relationality as the targets for Adult Education in this relatively still new millennium.

Gramsci's significance for education lies in two realms. First, his notion of hegemony provides a way of understanding in which informal educators function and it gives us the possibility of critique and transformation. His theory of organic intellectuals provides a more detailed place of adult education in his thought. The intellectuals have a crucial role in creating counter-hegemony. The second realm is in a wider context in which he discusses the traditional education and schooling and describes the education for the proletariat. This essay will focus on the importance of Gramsci's thoughts on adult education. To do this, the essay firstly will deal with his philosophy and political thoughts which has a close relationship with his ideas on adult education. Then, this relationship and his theory of education and intellectuals will be elaborated.
