Basic education is the whole range of education activities setting where is formal, non-formal and informal that aim to meet basic learning needs according to the international stands class features of education (ISCED) basic education comprises primary education and secondary education.

Sustainable education is the education that allows every human being to acquire knowledge, skills, altitude and values necessary to shape present and future generation.

For the provision of sustainable education the government should done the following in education system;

Government should do research on education aspect so as to enhance social, psychological and benefit to the child to enhance high quality o early child education (pre - primary) tertiary.

To put much effort on early year experience, has positive effect on sub sequence education achievement example playground, play activities, books etc. because when preschools is of high quality it lead to lasting in hence of education performance and later employment.

Provision of universal early child hood education and primary, there must be policy for preprimary and primary schools.

Improve relationship between family, child and communication e.g. coast sharing and communication between them.

Provision of compulsory education to low levels, of education government should extend loan to secondary school education level to enable every Tanzanian to acquire ordinary level education.

Provision of professional teacher to all level of education example United Kingdom from pre- high education has professional teachers.

Government should encourage private sectors, to invest in education in all levels so as to make competition on education system and to increase the interest and attitudes of learners in their studies in order to advance their academic performance.

Provide quality and equity opportunity education to every child, regardless the status of children and personality so as to make quality education to all students in the country by preparing good environment, qualified teachers and enough materials in all levels.

Government has to stimulate child centered curriculum and environment where children feel happy and secure. For example play opportunity to students, tripartite cooperation in the class learning and other education activities.

The government has to state clear the education policy, philosophy and the ideology of education and must implement those policies.

 Policies making, government through ministry of education make policies about education where government sort plans, aims and objectives of basic education  that everyone must acquire example in 1995 ministry of education made education policy where Prof Philemon Sarungi was minister of education and culture Tanzania has persistently stressed that socio-economic development is only meaning if it encompasses the needs, expectations and roles of all the individual beneficiaries of the results of development efforts in the whole society, on account of that the country’s development policy has always policy has aimed at combating poverty, ignorance and disease. In developing countries like Tanzania government is not making enough policies example Tanzanian education policy is of 1995 and now 2014 it’s about nearly two decades using the same education policy

Provide and improve education infrastructures, rolling government should provide school facilities like that will create conducive environment for sustain basic education government should accommodate all students to acquire such education and also should improve those infrastructures when needed. Infrastructure is wide term that includes building of schools inside the schools there must be classrooms, laboratories, libraries also sports and games grounds though this comes to be very difficult to developing countries like Tanzania due to deficit budget fail to provide enough and improve infrastructures that make education sustaining become very difficult

Training and recruit Teachers, government has role of teaching training and employ teachers and distribute them to different schools around the country so as to fulfill the requirement of basic education and this is done by ministry of education where all teaching training colleges are under the ministry and all private colleges are registered under the ministry so as to regulate them. This is challenge to developing country like Tanzania where there are not enough teachers also there are low payment to teachers available.

 Educational research sponsorship, government provide support to researchers in education discipline about to modify or change in curriculum so as to help government to improve their education policies. So government through education commissions conducts different researches so as to help in sustaining basic education to all citizens through different research reports. In developing country like Tanzania government put less attention on educational research that make to have outdated curriculum and lack innovations.

To evaluate curriculum implementation, government though ministry of education has to evaluate if the presented curriculum implemented as its proposed by the government and make sure that aims and objectives are implemented so as everyone must have basic education. Government through supervisory bodies assess the implementation of the state curriculum

Financing education budgets, government has to finance education budget so as to sustain basic education for all majority. But its challenge to developing countries where educational budget is less financed compared to other sectors also compared to developed countries education budget is about less than 3% of the national budget in Tanzania. And this make the difficulties in sustaining basic education.

Generally to sustain  basic education is rolling government responsibility though in developing countries like Tanzania government fail to play their roles in fulfilling their responsibility this is due to economic situations, political situation make government to put much emphasis in other aspects that are tangible and give them political attention and influence. So at the end government fail to sustain basic education.
