What Tanzanian Secondary School Students Plan to Teach Their Children

The responses of 3,457 Tanzanian secondary school students to the question "If you become a parent, what two things will you try to teach your children?" were analyzed. While the overall distribution of responses was related to the sex and ethnic group membership (Asian or African) of the respondent, the sub-groups did not differ in the striking frequency with which they named obedience or manners as the first goal. The paper attempts to account for the heavy stress placed on this important traditional African element of child rearing by these elite groups and tries to explain the unexpectedly close agreement in the frequency with which the different sex-ethnic sub-groups mention obedience as a primary goal of child training.
