The government of Tanzania said on Wednesday it is planning to open agriculture colleges in some of the country’s major universities to train experts in the field.
Omary Kipanga, the deputy minister of Education, Science and Technology, told the parliament that the colleges will specifically be tailored to provide agricultural courses.
“The agricultural colleges will produce enough experts to serve in the sector, including supporting farmers to boost yields and income,” he told the House in the capital of Dodoma.
Kipanga said the agricultural colleges will be established through the Higher Education for Economic Transformation (HEET) project financed by the World Bank.
HEET project is aimed to help strengthen the capacity and quality of the selected universities and institutes to prepare faculty, researchers and graduates, and build a strong and flexible, high-skilled workforce that can address Tanzania’s development challenges. Enditem
