The objective of the Science and Technology Higher Education Project for Tanzania is to increase the quantity and quality of higher education graduates, with special emphasis on science, technology, and education, through an improved learning environment. There are two components to the project. The first component (A) is the investments in priority disciplines for economic growth. This component funds subproject proposals from higher education institutions to increase access and improve their capacity to deliver quality education and training in the science and technology priority fields. Investments will include expanding and upgrading physical facilities, procuring relevant quality enhancing inputs, training, and technical assistance as determined by institutional proposals. The first component (B) is the expanded capacity for teacher preparation and for graduate studies in education. This subcomponent will support the preparation of degree-holding teachers, particularly in mathematics, sciences and Languages. Specifically, the Dar es Salaam University College of Education (DUCE), Mkwawa University College of Education (MUCE), and the State University of Zanzibar (SUZA) will be assisted with equipment, library materials, staff development, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and relevant technical assistance in order to expand the number of graduates and improve quality. The second component (A) is the strengthening key higher education agencies and institutions. This component will strengthen Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (MoEVT), Ministry of Communication, Science and Technology (MCST), and the other sub-sector agencies through provision of relevant equipment and software, training and staff development, and relevant technical assistance. The second component (B) is the investments in system-wide ICT and libraries. The objective of this component is, as the education sector expands, to better manage the increasing numbers of students; improve the quality of data used in decision making and resource management; enhance knowledge sharing; improve transparency; and improve classroom, e-learning, and increase research capability. Investments will include equipment, training, and technical assistance to prepare the groundwork for laying the network.
