  • Pre-Service Teachers' Perception of the Impact of Part-Time Lecturers In
    Pre-service Teachers’ Perception of the Impact of Part-time Lecturers in Tanzanian Higher Education: The Tale of Two University of Dar es Salaam Constituent Colleges of Education Vicent Naano Anney Department of Educational Psychology and Curriculum Studies University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper reports on pre-service teachers’ perception of part-time lecturers’ teaching practices at the constituent colleges of the University Dar es Salaam. The study employed both a quantitative and qualitative research approach to enrich the data from the participants. The findings indicated that the constituent colleges of the University of Dar es Salaam have a severe shortage of lecturers and many courses depend on part-time lecturers. The findings also indicated that pre-service student teachers were dissatisfied with the practice used by part-time lectures at the Mkwawa College of Education (MUCE) of squeezing 15 weeks (a semester) of the teaching timetable into 3-4 weeks. This has negatively affected students because it has not given them enough time to revise what they have been taught; instead they have had to skim the teaching notes and hand-outs given to them during the lecture. The findings also showed that part-time lecturers are ineffective in locating extra learning materials and are rarely available for advising students on matters relating to their academic affairs. This study recommends that constituent colleges should prepare a plan that will allow part-timers to teach the courses for at least for 11 weeks of the semester to allow them to reasonably follow the normal university timetable.

The focus of the paper was on higher education Full list of author information financing and on private higher education institutions. The findings indicated that is available at the end of the PPPs have had a positive impact on increasing access to Tanzania higher education. article However, although private universities and university colleges are many in number, enrolment has continued to be higher in public universities. It was further noted that an increase in higher learning institutions and subsequent increase in access to higher education has not meant an improvement in the quality of education provided by the institutions. As such, PPPs have had no significant impact on the improvement of qual- ity of education. This is mainly accounted for by the number and qualifications held by academic members of staff in private universities, the infrastructure as well as the programmes they offer.

  • Education Sector Performance Report (2018/2019)
    THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA EDUCATION SECTOR PERFORMANCE REPORT (2018/2019) TANZANIA MAINLAND Draft for circulation 14 September, 2019 Statement by the Minister for Education, Science and Technology It is with great honour and privilege that I present the 2019 Annual Education Sector Performance Report (AESPR). The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST) has a strong focus on ensuring that students’ learning and wellbeing underpin all our policy development and the services we provide. The AESPR 2019 represents the 9th edition of this publication. The report benchmarks annual sector progress and identifies key performance trends to enhance our planning and decision-making processes. In 2019, the sector continued to observe some improvements towards achieving the goals set out in the sector plan, compared to previous years. I am glad to say that our education system has made considerable improvements on many fronts over the last year. I wish to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of officials from MoEST and allied institutions, the President’s Office Regional Administration and Local Government (PO-RALG), field level officials, communities, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and our Development Partners. In the coming year, we intend to improve this performance by employing and deploying teachers, constructing classrooms in oversubscribed schools, building the capacity of service providers at all levels, facilitating quality assurance visits and monitoring reviews focusing on improving learning outcomes for all. There will also be interventions to overcome challenges, such as increasing teachers’ professional support and engaging communities in students’ learning. It is my expectation that all education stakeholders will join me in this effort of improving our education sector in the coming year through strong coordination and continued support with one another in the communities, districts and regions.
