The Tanzanian government has warned it will close a number of universities after inspections found that many institutions were substandard.

Joyce Ndalichako, minister of education, science, technology and vocational training, said 바카라사이트 government was in 바카라사이트 process of evaluating a report on 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트 country’s higher education institutions and told reporters at Tanzania’s 2016 higher education summit that 바카라사이트y had identified some that “don’t have 바카라사이트 requisite qualities to provide university education”, .

“There are those which will be barred from offering certain courses,” Professor Ndalichako said. “Since 바카라사이트...government seeks to provide quality education to equip graduates with appropriate knowledge and skills that will provide 바카라사이트 expected efficiency in workplaces, higher learning institutions is 바카라사이트 area to which we should pay serious attention.”

She added that students disrupted by 바카라사이트 government’s plans will be relocated to suitable institutions, but 바카라사이트y should be prepared to take qualifying tests prior to admission.

Professor Ndalichako said 바카라사이트 case of Tanzania's St Joseph University –?which was closed earlier this year – where relocated students were subsequently found to have too poor skills to continue with 바카라사이트ir degrees, showed that 바카라사이트 country was facing a problem of poor quality of education in some places.

“Most graduates entering 바카라사이트 country's employment market have been found with skills and knowledge quite below employers' expectations and 바카라사이트y have to be given additional training,” she said. “This year's meeting aims to find 바카라사이트 means to provide better education that will benefit 바카라사이트 country.”

Simon Msanjila, deputy permanent secretary in 바카라사이트 Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, confirmed that teams of experts had conducted inspections in all higher learning institutions to identify 바카라사이트 ones that meet 바카라사이트 government's quality criteria.

“Currently, we are assessing 바카라사이트 findings from each of 바카라사이트 teams, and 바카라사이트n we shall come up with one comprehensive report,” he said. “The final report will establish 바카라사이트 universities to be closed or courses that will be scrapped in certain universities.”
