Investing in the education of girls could be one of the investments with the highest returns in Tanzania. There is wide spread perception that better educated women. are able to process information and use goods and services more efficiently. Evidence from many studies demonstrates that in the long run, increased education for women could contribute to improved quality' of life and enhances national development through increased economic production,  improved hygienic and nutritional practices, as well as reduced child mortality and better nutritional practices. Educated women are better prepared to provide health care, to educate their children and reduce their fertility to desired levels.

These strongly shape the aspiration of girls and they may drop out of formal schooling system prematurely, either physically or intellectually.

Among the taken by the government to ensure that girls were enrolled in primary schools on equal number as boys includes enactment of education act 1969. The act provides the legal backing to ensure that children were not withdrawn from school before completing school cycle. Also Important was the introduction of Universal Primary Education 1974 and the education act number 25 Of 1978 which gave the government powers to enforce compulsory enrollment ratio reached 93 percent in the late 1980s.

Natural resources can be classified as non-renewable and renewable. Non-renewable or exhaustible resources such as fossils fuels, copper, and gold exist in fixed amount in various places in the earth crust. They can be used completely or economically depleted to the point where it costs too much to get what is left, when 80 percent of its total estimated supply has been removed and used

A renewable resource is the one that can theoretically last forever, because it is replaced through natural process. Examples are trees in the forest, grasses in grasslands, wild animals, fresh surface water in lakes and rivers, fresh air and fertile soils. The earth most valuable resources, is its diversity of potentially renewable forms of life. But over use can convert renewable resources to non-renewable by using them faster than they can be replenished.

Some non-renewable resources can be recycled or reused to extend supplies. Iron, aluminium, glass, for example, can be collected, remelted, reprocessed and made into new products. Also, to avoid excessive use of resources, recycling of papers products needlessly burned or thrown away, reduce timber needs for the paper industry. Domestic refuse can be used to generate power particularly for local districts heating and lighting schemes, though care must be taken when incinerating to avoid air pollution problems

Other non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), cannot be recycled or reused. When the high-quality useful energy in these fuels is converted to low quality waste heat and exhausted gasses that pollute the atmosphere.

3. Read the following passage and then answer the questions that follow.

Natural resources can be classified as non­renewable and renewable. Non­renewable or exhaustible resources such as fossil fuels, copper, and gold exist in fixed amount in various places in the earth crust. They can be used completely or economically depleted to the point where it costs too much to get what is left, when 80 percent of its total estimated supply has been removed and used.

A renewable resource is one that can theoretically last forever, because it is replaced through natural process. Examples are trees in the forest, grasses in grasslands, wild animals, fresh surface water in lakes and rivers, fresh air and fertile soils. The earth most valuable resources, is its diversity of potentially renewable forms of life. But over use can convert renewable resources to non­renewable by using them faster than they can be replenished.

Some non­renewable resources can be recycled or reused to extend supplies. Iron, aluminium, glass, for example, can be collected, remelted, reprocessed and made into new products. Also to avoid excessive use of resources, recycling of papers products needlessly burned or thrown away, reduce timber needs for the paper industry. Domestic refuse can be used to generate power particularly for local districts heating and lighting schemes, though care must be taken when incinerating to avoid air pollution problems.

Other non­renewable resources, such as fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), cannot be recycled or reused. When burned, the high quality useful energy in these fuels is converted to low quality waste heat and exhausted gases that pollute the atmosphere.

Questions

(a)  From the passage, identify two resources which can be replaced through the natural process.

(b)  State three merits of recycling non­renewable resources.

(c)  List down three environmental problems associated with burning of fossil fuels.

(d)  Explain the condition under which renewable resources cannot be renewed.

(e)  Suggest two measures to promote sustainable use of natural resources.
