‘Vyeti viwe na sifa nje ya mipaka’

SERIKALI imevitaka Vyuo Vikuu vyote nchini kuhakikisha vyeti wanavyotoa katika fani zote vinakuwa na sifa ya kutambulika kitaifa na kimataifa, anaandika Christina Haule.

Lengo ni kuwafanya wahitimu kukubalika kwa viwango sawa vilivyopo duniani jambo litakalosaidia kuingiza Watanzania kwenye ajira za kikanda na kimataifa.

Samia Suluhu Hassan, Makamu wa Rais amesema hayo jana kwenye siku ya wahitimu wa Chuo Kikuu Mzumbe iliyokwenda sambamba na harambee ya kuchangia bweni la wanafunzi wa kike katika chuo hicho.
Samia amewataka kuendela kuhakikisha kuwa, viwango na sifa za kitaaluma vya wahitimu katika ngazi na fani mbalimbali ikiwemo shahada, stashada, uzamili na uzamivu vinakuwa na sifa ya kutambulika kokote duniani.
“Isiwe kwamba mhitimu wetu napovuka mipaka yetu ya nchi hadhi ya shahada yetu ni sawa na Diploma kwingineko,” amesema Samia.
Hata hivyo alizitaka taasisi za elimu kusaidia kuweka mazingira wezeshi ya kujiajiri “ipo haja kuhuisha vigezo na utaratibu wa kuhakiki, kusimamia na kupima utekelezaji wa mitaala yetu ili kuhakikisha kwamba idadi ya wataalamu tunaozalisha wanakuwa na ujuzi wa juu.”
Prof. Josehat Itika, Naibu Makamu Mkuu wa Chuo hicho amesema, jumla ya Sh. 4.5 bilioni zinahitajika ili kuweza kujenga bweni hilo la wanafunzi wa kike litakalokuwa na uwezo wa kuchukua wanafunzi 900.
Amesema katika kuboresha mundombinu ya chuo hicho na kampasi zake, jumla Sh. 40 bilioni zinahitajika.
Hata hivyo ameiomba serikali kukamilisha azma yake kwa kutenga kiasi cha Sh. 15 bilioni ili kurejesha kituo kitakachofundisha maadili ya uongozi.

HESLB in big trouble over new embezzlement revelations

 
THE government yesterday gave the Higher Education Students’ Loans Board (HESLB) two-weeks to take legal measures against officials involved in the misappropriation of billions of shillings through multiple loan allocations and repayments which went unrecorded in books of accounts.
The Minister for Education, Science, Technology and Vocational Training, Prof Joyce Ndalichako, told reporters in Dar es Salaam that according to the initial findings of a special Controller and Auditor General (CAG) audit, the fund misappropriations appeared to stretch way back to 1994.
For example, although the still-ongoing audit showed that some 262 students received 10.7 billion/- in loans, official HESLB records indicated that they were supposed to repay only 5.5bn/-, Prof Ndalichako said.
Similarly, a total of 247 students who repaid 25 per cent of their initial loans to the tune of 270.8 million/- were never included in the list of students who have been servicing their loans, the minister added.
She cited another apparent embezzlement trick uncovered by the special CAG audit as some students receiving loans from both HESLB and its Zanzibar Higher Education Students’ Loans Board (ZHESLB) counterpart body.
There are also cases of one student’s name appearing among loan beneficiaries in more than one institution of higher learning, and one bank account being used by more than one student to receive loans from HESLB, according to Ndalichako.
In summary, a total of 105,202 students who received 712.8bn/- as loans between the years 1994-2013 have yet to repay their debts, the audit findings showed.
A total of 2,619 students with matured 14.4bn/- loans appeared to have used the same Form Four index number to receive the loans while with two different colleges, she said, although she did not name the colleges.
Weaknesses were also found among contractors hired by the board to identify and collect outstanding loan debts, with records showing some 462 students (debtors) were owed a total of 3.6bn/- compared to the actual figure of 2.8bn/-.
“The difference of 828,348,032/- allowed the contracted debt collectiors to be paid higher commissions than they deserved,” Ndalichako said, adding that in some cases different debt collectors were paid commissions for identifying the same students.
According to the minister, although the contractors were supposed to receive 2.5 per cent commissions on collected debts, the problem arose when two contractors produced the same records of debt on the same students due to multiple university admissions.
“This kind of thing would normally draw attention, but it didn’t,” she noted.
The audit also indicated that allowances for board members and personnel had also been increased by using funds that were supposed to go towards providing student loans.
The minister said the audit showed that HESLB has a lot of explaining to do, and explained that the two-week ultimatum was for rectifying actions to be taken, including initiating concrete steps to restore the misappropriated monies.
Such steps should include identifying all remaining student loan debtors and collecting from them, including students who received loans on the same Form Four index numbers, she stated.
She further directed the board management to make sure that loopholes in the loans issuance and debt collection systems were plugged forthwith.
The board must also provide a detailed statement on 168 suspected fake University of Dar es Salaam students who appeared to have received 531.3m/- in loans and another 919 from the University of Dodoma who apparently received 2.5bn/-, Ndalichako concluded.
Both universities have reported that they did not have the listed students in their enrolment records, yet the money is nowhere to be seen in the board’s books of accounts.

Wanafunzi Wafundishana Wenyewe Shule ya Kwedichocho Handeni Baada ya Walimu Kuacha Kazi.

Wakazi wa kijiji cha Manga kilichopo kata ya Mkata wilayani Handeni wameiomba serikali kuingilia kati kufuatia walimu wawili wa shule ya msingi Kwedichocho kuacha kazi tangu mwishoni mwa jana na kuwaacha wanafunzi wakifundishwa na wanafunzi wenzao wawili wa darasa la saba kufuatia vitongoji vyao pamoja na shule kuuzwa kwa mwekezaji ikidaiwa kuwa ipo maeneo katika kijiji kingine kinachojulikana kwa jina la Mazingara.

Wakizungumza katika kijiji cha Kwedichocho baadhi ya viongozi wa serikali ya kijiji na wakazi wake wamesema hatua hiyo imekuja baada ya baadhi ya viongozi wa kijiji cha Mazingara kumuuzia mwekezaji hekari zaidi ya 400 zenye makazi ya watu zaidi ya 1000 pamoja na shule hatua ambayo wanafunzi wameanza kutishiwa kuondoka kwa sababu mwekezaji anataka kulifanyia kazi eneo la ardhi ikiwa ni pamoja na majengo ya shule pamoja na nyumba ya mwalimu.

Kwa upande wake mwenyekiti mstaafu wa kijiji hicho Saleh Sadick amesema wakazi wa vitongoji vya Kwedichocho na Mkulumilo vyote vilivyopo katika kata ya Mkata hawatakubali kuondoka katika eneo hilo linalodaiwa kuwa ni eneo la kijiji cha Mazingara hatua ambayo inaweza kusababisha uvunjifu wa amani baina ya pande hizo mbili.

ITV ilifika hadi katika shule ya msingi Kwedichocho ambapo wananfunzi walikutwa darasani wakifundishwa na wenza wa darasa la saba huku wakiimba wimbo unaosema bado mapambano yanaendelea.

Tamisemi Yakanusha Taarifa Kwenye Mitandao Ya Jamii Juu Ya Kusitisha Ajira Za Walimu Wapya 2015/2016

Wizara ya Nchi, Ofisi ya Rais Tawala za Mikoa na Serikali za Mitaa (Tamisemi), imekanusha taarifa zilizosambaa katika mitandao ya kijamii kuwa imesitisha ajira za ualimu kwa mwaka wa fedha 2016/17.

Hivi karibuni taarifa hizo zilieleza kuwa  utafiti uliofanywa na Tamisemi umebaini kuwapo kwa ziada ya walimu 7,988 wa masomo ya sanaa na biashara hivyo haitaajiri walimu hao badala wataajiri wa masomo sayansi na hisabati.

Akizungumza na wanahabari  Katibu Mkuu wa Tamisemi, Mhandisi Mussa Iyombe amewataka wananchi kupuuza taarifa hizo kwani hazina ukweli wowote na zinalenga kugombanisha,kujenga chuki kati ya Serikali na walimu wa masomo hayo.

"Siyo kwamba ajira za walimu hakuna, ajira zipo. Ila wakati ukifika tutawangazia tunachosubiri sasa hivi suala la bajeti kuu liishe kwanza,"  amesema Mhandisi Iyombe.

Serikali Haitamvumilia Kiongozi Yeyote Atakayedonoa Fedha Za Michango Ya Madawati- Majaliwa.

WAZIRI MKUU Kassim Majaliwa amesema Serikali itamchukua hatua kiongozi yeyote atakayedonoa fedha za michango ya madawati inayotolewa na wadau mbalimbali wa maendeleo.

Pia amewaagiza watendaji wote wa Serikali, Walimu Wakuu wa Shule za Msingi na Sekondari, Maofisa Elimu, Wakurugenzi wa Halmashauri, Wakuu wa Wilaya na Wakuu wa Mikoa, kuhakikisha michango hiyo inayotolewa inawafikia walengwa.

Aidha, amezitaka wilaya zote nchini zianzishe mpango endelevu wa kuhakikisha kwamba upungufu wa madawati unasahaulika kabisa katika maeneo yao na kwamba utendaji wa viongozi wa elimu na Serikali katika ngazi mbalimbali utapimwa kutokana na jinsi ambavyo wametekeleza maagizo hayo.

Waziri Mkuu Majaliwa ameyasema hayo leo (Jumamosi, Juni 11, 2016) wakati wa matembezi ya hisani ya kukusanya fedha za kununulia madawati kama sehemu ya maadhimisho ya miaka 50 tangu kuanzishwa kwa Benki Kuu ya Tanzania (BOT).

Katika maadhimisho hayo yaliyoanzia BOT hadi viwanjja vya Mnazi Mmoja, Gavana wa BOT, Profesa Benno Ndulu alimkabidhi Waziri Mkuu hundi ya shilingi milioni 263 zilizochangwa na benki hiyo pamoja na watumishi wake kama mchango wao kwa ajili ya ununuzi wa madawati.

Waziri Mkuu aliwapongeza watumishi wa BOT kwa kushirikiana na Serikali katika kutatua changamoto hiyo ambapo alitoa wito kwa taasisi zote katika sekta ya umma na binafsi pamoja na watu binafsi kuchangia uboreshaji wa elimu nchini kama sehemu ya “Majukumu ya Taasisi kwa Jamii” (Corporate Social Responsibility).

Amesema kuwa na elimu bora, siyo tu faida kwa Taifa, bali kwa waajiri pia, kwani itahakikisha kwamba taasisi za umma na binafsi zinapata wafanyakazi ambao wameiva na wenye weledi wa kutekeleza majukumu mbalimbali ya uzalishaji katika taasisi hizo.

“Nitoe wito pia kwa wanafunzi wote ambao watafaidika na kuboreshwa kwa mazingira ya kusomea, ikiwemo kupewa madawati na mahitaji mengine, kuhakikisha wanasoma kwa bidii kwa faida yao na Taifa kwa ujumla na kwa kufanya hivyo, wanafunzi watakuwa wanaenzi jitihada za Serikali, taasisi za umma, taasisi binafsi na watu binafsi katika kuboresha elimu nchini,” amesema.

Amesema Serikali ya Awamu ya Tano imeazimia kupambana na changamoto za sekta ya elimu na kwamba tangu Uhuru, Serikali za Awamu zote zimekuwa zikifanya jitihada mbalimbali katika kuboresha elimu kwa wananchi wake.
