always trained in the two universities. First degree holders can teach in
any of the non degree awarding institutions. Master degree holders can
also teach in such institutions. However, the degree obtained by such
teachers must be related to their field.

For the university teachers in Tanzanian degree awarding
institutions, the would-be-lecturers are always recruited after the first
class and in a few cases upper class degrees. The lecturers in this
category who are recruited by the university are always given
scholarships to study overseas for their master’s degree as well as their
doctoral degree programme.
With master’s degree, such lecturers will be appointed Assistant
lecturers and they will be upgraded to lecturers after they must have
obtained their Ph.D.
Before University Lecturer can move to the next rank, such a
lecturer must have served for a minimum of three years. He must also
certify the promotion conditions which include: acceptable level of
teaching as well as publication.
Members of both academic and non academic staff have their
different professional bodies which cater for their welfare.
