InfoBridge Group of Companies establishes the Mugerezi Spatial Technology MUST College with the main goal of providing vocational education and training to enable young people and adults to get employment in the formal and informal sector. According to the Tanzania education system, most of the form four students who score division I, II and III qualify to join the high schools and colleges, while students who score division IV have very limited chances of further studies.
The fact that final examinations should not be the final and conclusive determinant for the exam results, because some students are very intelligent but they fail to perform in the last exams due to various reasons such as tension, sickness and circumstances in which they are doing the exams.
Two good decisions made by the government of Tanzania in recent years have created two big problems which need to be addressed immediately.
The first decision was that of opening secondary school in each ward in Tanzania. The problem caused by this decision is that many ward secondary schools are ill equipped and many student not only fail in their final form IV examinations, but also they are many and can not be accommodate in the few available high schools and colleges
The second decision was that of allowing many public and private universities to be started. These universities produce many degree graduates every year. Some colleges which used to produce technicians have also been transformed into universities and now are also producing degree graduates. The problem caused by this decision is that, very few technicians and auxiliary staffs are now being produced. This situation results in degree graduates not being employed or being employed to jobs that are meant for technicians. For a better performance in any industry, one graduate should work with at least 4 technicians, and one technician should work with at least 4 auxiliary staffs. Tanzania is now producing many graduates than technicians and auxiliary staffs. This is not good for the country.
