Through the website it aimed to provide educational and information resources to students, parents and teachers, free of charge, and on a continuous basis. The web site provided information on schools and colleges in Tanzania, and gives access to meaningful, practical, and useful educational resources such as teaching tips, study skills, memory skills, and much more.

It also published a quarterly educational newsletter in publishing runs of 10,000 copies, and distributed them by mail to every secondary school in the country.

On April 4, 2008, TanEdu ceased operations due to a lack of funding.
