UNIVERSITY ENROLMENT TO DOUBLE BY 2020

Education, Science, Technology and Vocational Training Minister, Professor Joyce Ndalichako, said at the launch of the 11th Exhibition on High Education, Science and Technology in Dar es Salaam yesterday, that Tanzania has a huge task ahead to achieve full industrialisation.

The minister explained that the plan to increase access and equity would be in line with improving the quality of education, a pre-requisite for the national second five year development plan (FYDP II-2016/17- 2020/21).

“The government is determined and committed to increase access to higher education while instituting effective quality assurance systems and mechanisms by raising the gross enrolment rates to 6.9 per cent by 2020,” Prof Ndalichako said.
