Edgar Lungu expected in Dar today

Zambia and Tanzania plan to sign several ambitious agreements that aim at strengthening bilateral diplomatic ties as well as trade and investment cooperation between the two countries during the visit by President Edgar Lungu.

The envisaged agreements include the opening of a new route between Dar es Salaam and Lusaka by Air Tanzania.

President Lungu is expected to arrive in Tanzania on Sunday for a two-day state visit on an invitation by President John Magufuli.

President Lungu’s visit by the Zambia leader comes just a few days after the meeting of the recent session of a Joint Permanent Commission (JPC), the Minister for Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation, Ambassador Augustine Mahiga, told a media conference in Dar es Salaam yesterday.

Tanzania’s High Commissioner to Zambia, Ms Grace Mwijuma, said the recent JPC meeting agreed that the two countries should extend ties in other trade and investment sectors, insisting that Zambia was a strategic neighbour.

She noted that the two countries agreed to work together in the transport sector, immigration and prison departments, among others.

According to her, President Magufuli and President Lungu are on Monday expected to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in various trade and investment sectors.

“Our ministers are expected to sign an agreement on behalf of the two heads of state regarding collaboration in the aviation sector whereas Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL) planes will establish a route between Dar es Salaam to Lusaka,” she said.

The envoy further said that the two leaders will sign another MoU on political and diplomatic consultations.

With that agreement, she said, leaders from both countries can meet anytime to deliberate on issues of diplomacy and politics when they arise.

On immigration and prison departments, Ms Mwijuma said there were several immigration issues that needed strong cooperation between Tanzania and Zambia, adding that the two countries have already agreed to look into the possibility of exchanging prisoners.

Tanzania and Zambia have also agreed to establish a simplified joint trade regime.

“We have many Tanzanian business-people in Zambia and also many Zambian business-people in Dar es Salaam. Therefore, we agreed that we extend our ties on this area,” said Ms Mwijuma, expressing optimism that President Lungu’s visit will be of greater advantage to the country.

Padri Fred Njuguna: Elimu Ya Ufundi Stadi Inaweza Kutatua Tatizo La Ajira Nchini

Mmliki wa SIMBAYA BLOG Friday Simbaya (kulia) akimpongeza mmoja wa wahitimu Pelegrin Kilwa katika Mahafali ya 25 ya Chuo cha Wasalesiani wa Don Bosco mkoani Iringa hivi karibuni. 

VIJANA wameshauriwa kujiajiri kupitia elimu ya ufundi stadi ili kusaidia serikali kupunguza changamoto ya ukosefu wa ajira nchini.

Hayo yalisemwa na Mkuu wa Chuo cha Ufundi Stadi cha Don Bosco (DYTC) cha mkoani Iringa, Padri Fred Njuguna wakati wa Mahafali ya 25 ya chuo hicho jana.

Chuo hicho kipo chini ya shirika la Waslesiani wa Don Bosco, ambalo ni shirika la kimataifa la kidini linalofanya kazi katika nchi 125 duniani kote kwa sababu ya vijana.

Padri Njuguna alitoa rai hiyo kwa vijana nchini wanaomaliza kidato cha nne na cha sita kwamba wanatakiwa kujiunga na vyuo hivyo vya elimu ya ufundi stadi baada ya kukosa kujiunga katika vyuo vya kawaida kutokana na sababu mbalimbali.

Alisema wapo wanafunzi wanaomaliza elimu hiyo ya sekondari ambao wanabweteka na kujikuta wanakaa bila kazi yakufanya, kumbe wangejiunga na vyuo hivyo vya ufundi stadi wangepunguza changamoto ya ukosefu wa ajira.

Alisema kuwa ili kuunga mkono jitihada za serikali ya awamu ya tano ya sera ya viwanda, wahitimu hao wa elimu ya sekondari hawanabudi kujiunga na vyuo hivyo vya ufundi stadi.

Aidha, mkuu wa chuo hicho ameipongeza serikali kwa kuboresha mifumo ya utoaji mafunzo katika vyuo vya ufundi stadi nchini kunakopelekea wahitimu wengi katika vyuo hivyo kuajirika au kujiajiri wenyewe.

Alisema kuwa baada ya mamlaka ya vyuo vya elimu ya ufundi stadi nchini (VETA) kuboresha shughuli za mafunzo wahitimu wengi wamekuwa wakijiajiri wenyewe.

Katika hatua nyingine, Mkuu wa Chuo cha Ufundi cha Vijana cha Don Bosco Pd. Njuguna alisema kuwa chuo hicho kinakabiliwa na chamgamoto nyingi ikiwemo ya kukosekana kwa hosteli za wanafunzi ambapo wengi wao huishi mitaani na kusababisha utoaji wa malezi kwa vijana hao kuwa ngumu.

“Tunaweza kutoa malezi bora kwa vijana wanapokuwa shuleni lakini pindi wanaporudi nyumbani anaendelea na tabia zao zilezile, kumbe wangekuwa wanakaa hosteli inakuwa rahisi kutoa malezi kwa vijana…,” alisema Pd. Fred Njuguna.

Alisema kuwa changamoto nyingine ni kwamba chuo hicho kinatumia gharama kubwa ya kuendeshaji kwa kukosekana kwa ruzuku kutoka serikalini pamoja na wanafunzi wengi kushindwa kulipa ada kwa wakati.

Alisema kuwa kwa kawaida serikali inatakiwa kuchangia asilimia 70 ya uendeshaji wa vyuo vya ufundi stadi na asiliamia 30 inayobaki inachangiwa na chuo husika, “…lakini fedha hizo haziji mara nyingi,” aliongeza Pd. Njuguna.

Alisema pia kuwa changamoto nyingine ni kwamba kumekuwepo na idadi ndogo ya wanafunzi wa kike wanaoujiunga na chuo ukilinganisha na idadi yawavulana kutokana ukosefu wa hosteli.

Alitoa mfano kwa wahitimu wa mwaka huu, kwamba jumla ya wanafunzi 63 waliohitimu mwaka huu lakini ni wasichana nane tu ndio waliohitimu kutokana sababu mbalimbali ikiwemo mimba mbili za wanafunzi wa kike kwa kukosekana kwa mabweni ya shule.

Alisema kuwa chuo hicho kina zaidi ya wanafunzi 200, kati yao wasichana ni 47 kati ya wanafunzi wote wa chuo kutokana kutokuwa na mabweni.

Kituo cha mafunzo ya vijana cha Don Bosco kipo chini ya Wasalesiani wa Don Bosco ambalo ni shirika la kimataifa la kidini linalofanya kazi katika nchi 125 duniani kote kwa sababu ya vijana. 

Medrick msamila ni mhitimu katika mahafali ya 25 ya chuo hicho katika fani ya uashi amemshukuru mungu kwa kumaliza salama lakini akaweka msisitizo kuwa chuo hicho kione haja ya kupunguza ada ili wanafunzi wengi wajiunge na chuo.

Alisema kuwa wanafunzi wengi wanatoka kwenye familia zenye kipato kidogo lakini wanashindwa kujiunga kutokana na ada kubwa na kuongeza kuwa wasichana wengi wajiunge na vyuo vya ufundi stadi kwani ufundi sio tu kwa wanaume.

Wasalesiani wa don bosco waliwasili mkoani Iringa mwaka 1980 na walianzisha kituo cha vijana na shule ya kiufundi. 

Chuo hicho cha ufundi kinatoa jumla ya kozi za aina saba na kinasimamiwa na mamlaka ya elimu ya ufundi stadi nchini (VETA), ambapo asilimia 88 ya wahitimu wake wanajiajiri au kuajiriwa. 

Kozi zifuatazo zinatolewa katika Chuo cha Don Bosco Iringa ni pamoja na kozi ya kompyuta, uchapishaji, uchomeleaji, ushonaji, ufundi magari, umeme, na uashi.

Hata hivyo, mkuu wa chuo huyo amewashauri wahitimu kutoridhika na elimu walioipata na badala yake wajiendeleze mpaka wafike ngazi ya juu zaidi ili kuweza kuleta ubora na ufanisi katika kazi zao.

RECENTLY University of Iringa (UOI) (formerly Tumaini University College) has conducted the 19th Graduation Ceremony which saw a lot of graduands awarded with certificates, diplomas and degrees.

The Guardian on Sunday managed to talk to one of the graduands he has this to say about his fellow students who have graduated this year in various colleges and universities across the country.

Crispin Nyomoye is Public Relations Officer (PRO) at University of Iringa has this to advise his fellow students.

He has challenged his fellow university graduates to think outside the box and form partnership with other colleagues and universities graduates in order to create jobs for themselves and others.

Nyomoye was one of graduates awarded with a Masters Degree of Arts in Journalism and Media Management during the 19th Graduation Ceremony of UOI on 19th November 2016, which is first master’s degree in Tanzania and East Africa to be offered. 

He said that many graduates of today are stuck in a job hunting cycle because they haven’t thought of innovative ideas.

"Most of the youth graduates these days are thinking of being employed rather than employing themselves…," he said.

He said in the global economic, social and political turbulent environment, only creative, skillful and innovative graduates who are able to move beyond the conventional methods of doing things could survive.

On his part, the Board Chairman of University of Iringa for the Evangelical Lutheran Church (ELCT) Diocese of Iringa, Dk. Owdenburg Mdegella (retired), has hailed the government on a new strategy that could bring an end to the use of fake certificates in securing jobs in the country.

He said that there has been an increase of use of fake degrees and certificates to secure employment in the country.

Dr. Mdegella made statement yesterday during the 19th Graduation of University of Iringa (UOI), where certificates, diplomas, degrees and master degrees were awarded to graduates in various fields by the UOI Chancellor retired Chief Justice Augustino Ramadhani.

He said the move by the government seeks to curb the use of fake certificates in securing jobs in an economy with a shortage of openings in the job market.

He said the move will empower the authority which regulates and supervises all qualifications given to students and maintain validity of degrees.

Dr. Mdegella said there is a stiff competition of colleges and universities in the country, but still they will continue to do well and exceed the most professional ascent.

He said they will continue to do well due to greater capacity and better accountability of the leaders of the university in promoting unity and solidarity in running the learning institution, thus urging all citizens continuously received good education at the university.
