SECTION B (40 Marks)

3. Read the following passage carefully and answer questions (a) - (e) that follow.
Education is the creation, accumulation and transmission of values in a given society. It is designed to guide students in learning culture and molding behaviour on the way to adulthood, and directing them toward their eventual roles in the society. The existence of education is to help learners become useful members of the society. It should also help the learners to develop an appreciation of the cultural heritage of their society and live more satisfying lives.
School is an institution designed to impart some of these societal values. However, there are claims that a number of school goers do not attend classes. This makes family institution more important in transmitting values in the society. A study conducted about the impact of truancy among the schools in Tanzania revealed that parents are childs first and perhaps most important teachers. Parents teach their children attitude, habits and values that help to shape their character. Parents remain with their children throughout their lives, but few parents have neither time nor ability to teach their children the things they need to know about life.
Truancy has been labeled as one of the top ten major problems in schools, which negatively affect the future of the young people. Absenteeism is detrimental to students achievements, promotion, graduation and employment potential. The students notoriousness can be a result of truancy. Students notoriousness resulting from truancy is not!only confined to smoking, fighting with each other or behaving indecently but also involving in running away from home and mingling with friends of bad influence such as drug abusers. Truancy of students in Tanzania, is not only caused by attendance characteristics alone, but results from other factors like poverty, early child pregnancy, drug abuse, peer groups and lack of seriousness in classroom.
Consequently, education stakeholders together with government and parents should apart from making sure that every school age individual attends school, children should take their learning seriously. There is a need for laws that students who do not attend classes regularly should be punished and their parents held accountable.

Soni aliamka usingizini na kuendelea na safari yake. Awali alishtushwa na mitikisiko iliyotokea karibu na mbuyu. Hakujua yuko wapi lakini hakuchelewa kukumbuka nia ya safari yake. Aliukamata mkuki wake vizuri na ngao yake pia. Alipiga goti moja na kusimama hali akiuangalia mbuyu. Punde, aliwaona nyani wawili wakikimbilia nyasini. Wakasimama na kumtazama Soni. Naye alipoona hakuna hatari ya wanyama wakali, aliendelea na safari yake. Muda huo wa mchana ulikuwa salama kwani wanyama wakubwa walikuwa mapangoni mwao. Zaidi zilisikika sauti za panzi, nyenje na ndege tu waliojibizana kwa zamu.
Soni alipumzika kidogo kwa mara nyingine ili kumnyonyesha mtoto. Hata hivyo, vivuli virefu vilimkumbusha kuwa usiku ulikaribia. Lakini hakusikia wala kuona dalili yoyote ile iliyoonesha kuwa binadamu waliishi katika eneo hili. Bado hakuelewa ni wapi alipokuwa. Ni kosa gani alilofanya? Je, mwanawe hakuwa binadamu? Ni-kwewtofauti yake .ni_rangi-tu2 Hakuwa na vidole vya mikono na miguu vilivyomzidi baba yake. Macho yake na masikio pia yalikuwa sawa, aliyahesabu yote. Pale kila kitu kilipowekwa pamoja, mtoto alikuwa karibu sawa na wengine kuliko tofauti yake ya rangi tu. Sasa nvbona wanataka kumuua?
Soni alianza kukimbia kwa kasi kwani kama hangefika kijiji jirani, basi kutoroka kwake kungekuwa kazi bure. Punde si punde alishtushwa na mlio wa vipande vya miti vilivyovunjika. Soni alisimama akabana pumzi zake akisubiri sauti ile isikike tena. Huyo hakuwa mnyama mkali bali mtu aliyekusanya kuni. Upesi Soni aliharakisha upande ilikotoka sauti. Ghafla akamwona mzee mmoja akikusanya kuni. Alisogea kiasi ambacho kungetokea hatari angekimbia. Alimsalimia mzee yule. "Tafadhali kuwa mwema ili umsaidie mwanao aliyepotea," alisubiri atakavyojibiwa. Kwa sauti ile yule mzee alizunguka na kuinua shoka lake kama ishara ya kutisha. Punde alipogundua kuwa aliyeongea alikuwa ni mwanamke, alipata ahueni na kulishusha shoka lake chini. Wakati ule Soni alisita na kuamua kusimama. Tumaini alizinduka usingizini. Huenda alihisi shaka iliyomkumba mama yake, akaanza kulia.
Punde si punde, yule mzee alijiandaa kwa mashambulizi. Aliwaza kuna mtu nyuma ya yule mama. Iweje mwanamke mwenye mtoto mchanga aranderande msituni bila ya kuwa na mlinzi? Huenda anatumiwa na kijana imara aliyetaka kumuua. Wakati huo angefanyaje? Alikusanya kuni chache alizozipasua, akageuka ili aondoke. "Tafadhali usinitupe niliwe na wanyama wa usiku. Nisaidie! La, huwezi kunisaidia binti yako, basi msaidie mwanangu. Hajaonja maisha bado, na si vyema kufa sasa. Kilio mfululizo cha yule mtoto na maneno ya Soni vilimgusa yule mzee. Ingawa alisita, lakini hatimaye aligeuka nyuma. Kutokana na kauli yake, alihisi Soni alikuwa mgeni katika eneo hilo. Akaamua hata kama iweje, angemsaidia. Kwa hadhari kubwa aliwasogelea mama na mtoto wake. "Njoo mwanangu, tutakwenda kibandani kwangu."

8. Read the passage below carefully then answer the questions that follow.
English Language seems to be a problem to both teachers and students in Tanzania although it is an official language. It is taught as a subject in primary schools and is used as the medium of instruction from secondary schools to higher education levels.
In recent years, the language has been a barrier in academic performance among many students. It acts as an obstacle to some of the students toward learning new concepts intended since they fail to understand what is taught in the classroom by using English Language. As a result they finish a certain level of education without having the required skills and competences.
Some measures should be taken in order to solve the existing problem. It is suggested that Kiswahili should be used as a medium of instruction in all levels of education because it is the National language and it is well understood by Tanzanians as compared to English Language. It has been proven through various researches that, people understand better when they learn in the language they know.
There are some prevailing wrong perceptions that, Kiswahili has limited vocabularies and it is not self-sufficient when it comes to scientific and technological issues. This is a very wrong perception since any language in the universe has ability to borrow and incorporate words from other languages. However, there is no language which is self sufficient by itself.

You led your clans to the gallows

By their sunken eyes your body was cursed
The moving river shall swallow it!
