This study was based to examine the impacts of Fee-Free Education Policy in Junior Secondary Schools in Tanzania. The study used secondary data which were collected from the Ministry of Education Science and Technology (MOEST), National Examination Council of Tanzania (NECTA), United Republic of Tanzania (URT), Buchosa District Education Officer (BDEO), and other Non-governmental institutions. Finally, data were analyzed and presented. Data collection was guided by four objects such as the number of classrooms, the number of teachers, the number of students enrolled, and students’ pass rate. The findings from this study demonstrated that a fee-free education policy has shown a direct impact on junior secondary education. Through national examination, the students’ pass rate has improved, also to some extent number of teaches has increased. Apart from that, number of classrooms are imbalance with number of students. Therefore, this study recommended that the Tanzanian government should employ more qualified teachers, at the same time to build more classes to accommodate the number of students.
