Gender and Education in Tanzania
The education system in Tanzania, during the past 20 years, has expanded in Private schools particularly English medium schools both pre and primary schools, Secondary schools, colleges and University enrolments; however, there are not condusive conditions and schools to enable and satisfy the demand of a growing nation. This is due to geographical setup, affordability, family economic background, limited exposure to effects of education and low technology. As a result, there are trends to be a marked gender, regional and economic level bias that needs to be addressed.  Mostly, elites, the rich and/ or educated gender was currently favoured, it is in this view BUS is designed to universalise and hence break the academic gates the children from poor families face particularly the young girls.

In most villages of Bagamoyo district particularly Chalinze and the nearby remote areas of Morogoro district, more than 90% of the population is Muslim, and here strong socio-religious pressures deter families from sending their children to school especially females. This belief overrides the logic and recognition that education has had positive effects on promotion of maternal and child health, on family welfare, and in economic, social and political benefits.

Gender and Policy
Tanzania's Constitution, advocates for equal rights between men and women and Tanzania is a signatory to the global Convention of the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). In 1992, Tanzania established a policy on Women in Development, and has since actively promoted efforts to re-align the gender bias in all walks of life.

The goals set in the Tanzania Development Vision 2025, which envisages a situation whereby "All Tanzanian's of all races, gender and creed will be living in a substantially developed society with high quality livelihood", will most certainly be compromised if the gender imbalance in education is not addressed. This couples well with the National Poverty Eradication Strategy (NPES) and the Agricultural Sector Development Strategy (ASDS), which recognize women, have a dynamic, economic and leadership role to play in nation building.

BUS takes a great care to minimise the stress of the first time pupils especially girls by providing a high degree of security, comfort and good food. These three things, we believe, are essential for any good learning environment.

So the school buildings and curriculum have been designed to give them maximum educational opportunities in a secure, calm and sheltered environment.
