In line with the UN Millennium Development Goals, the government of Tanzania has
set poverty reduction as the most important challenge for the future. Education is a key
sector in the long-term process of poverty reduction. Three of the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) focus on gender. The Progress report (UN Secretariat,
2005), however, fairly strongly states that it is unlikely, that any of these three MDGs
can be met, if women lack the education, influence and resources to care for their
families, and to fully participate in the development process. In this paper, we analyse
findings of previous research on gender and disability in the education sector
development and explore ways to bring the socio-cultural perspectives into the sector
development discussions.
