By Arusha, Tanzania.
(News of The South) – Tanzania’s government is planning on constructing new technical colleges across the country, in a bid to solve future employment crisis.
The Tanzanian government said it was aware of the importance of technical training in empowering the youth through self-employment, productivity and essential skills.
“While we are doing everything possible to create employment among young people, it is also important to facilitate them to become self-reliant and create their own jobs based on skills earned from technical training,” said William Ole Nasha, the deputy minister for Education, Science and Technology.
Tanzania’s government has vowed to promote science, technology and innovation as a way of spearheading national development.
The state has also declared to keep on supporting young scientists in developing their careers for sustainable growth.
Last year, the Commission for Science and Technology (Costech), through financial support from the Human Development Innovation Fund (HDIF), provided a US$610 000 grant to support grassroots innovations and innovation hubs in the country.
