This article examines the role of schooling in some of the remarkable social and economic transformations that are going on in sub–Saharan Africa today. It compares Chagga cultural ideas about land and livestock with the model of social development presented in the Tanzanian agricultural science syllabus. The argument–that schooling constitutes a broadening of “value” on Mount Kilimanjaro–has implications for understanding social and material differences that are created in connection with schooling.
