Tanzania introducing Chinese in schools

A poster with Chinese characters written on it is seen during a second grade class taught exclusively in Mandarin Chinese at Broadway Elementary School, part of the city of Los Angeles' public school system, January 31, 2013 in Venice, California


Tanzania is introducing the teaching of Chinese in several schools, as it strengthens ties with China,
reports the BBC bureau in the main city, Dar es Salaam.
The government has identified six secondary schools in Dar es Salaam, the capital Dodoma and the eastern city of Morogoro to be part of the pilot project.
It said it had already recruited 12 Chinese language teachers. Beijing has financed many infrastructure, aid and development projects in Tanzania.
The two countries have historical links dating back to Tanzania's campaign against British colonial rule.
