Tanzania - Support to Technical Vocational Education and Training and Teacher Education Project

The proposed Tanzania Support to Technical Vocational Education and Training and Teacher Education Project is designed within the context of the national human resource development priorities and in support of the development of skills in the country. The project is in support of the priorities of the Country Strategy Paper and is in line with Bank’s own priorities as stated in its 2013-2022 strategy. It will focus on the Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) subsector and Teacher Education (TE), with the aim of contributing to efforts to increase the supply of skilled labor and build capacity for teacher education. The project will provide resources for provision of improved learning and teaching environment at beneficiary education institutions. Key outcomes of the project are increased access to and improved quality and equity of technical vocational education and training; and increased capacity of secondary teacher education in science and mathematics. The expected outputs include expanded infrastructure at 13 institutions with about 8,000 trainees attending at any given time; expanded and extensive use of ICT in instruction at 53 institutions; and increased capacity for teaching, policy formulation, planning and quality assurance in technical vocational education and teacher education. The project will be implemented over a period of five years.
