Technical <strong>and</strong> Vocational Education <strong>and</strong> Tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g (TVET)<br />

Currently no MKUKUTA <strong>in</strong>dicators have been specified for technical <strong>and</strong> vocational education.<br />

However, BEST <strong>2009</strong> provides TVET data for the first time. Results show a decrease <strong>in</strong> the<br />

number of graduates from 126,000 to 93,000, <strong>and</strong> an <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> students dropp<strong>in</strong>g out from<br />

courses. The sharp drop <strong>in</strong> the proportion of overall fund<strong>in</strong>g allocated to TVET <strong>in</strong> 2008/09 shown<br />

<strong>in</strong> Table 9 will further impact provision.<br />

In terms of disparities, girls’ representation <strong>in</strong> technical tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g varies widely by course, for<br />

example, 17.6% <strong>in</strong> eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> other science; 64.6% <strong>in</strong> health <strong>and</strong> allied science (MoEVT,<br />

2008b). Overall, <strong>in</strong> 2008/09, girls made up 43.2% of enrolments <strong>in</strong> TVET – a decl<strong>in</strong>e from the<br />

previous year. By location, western <strong>Tanzania</strong> has relatively fewer TEVT <strong>in</strong>stitutions than other<br />

parts of the country, mak<strong>in</strong>g it more expensive (especially <strong>in</strong> transport costs) for potential<br />

students from these regions to access courses. Plans for a national Technical <strong>and</strong> Vocational<br />

Tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>Development</strong> Programme are <strong>in</strong> tra<strong>in</strong>, but they are at a very early stage of development.<br />

Despite the lack of an overall plan, a number of vocational tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g centres are currently be<strong>in</strong>g<br />

rehabilitated <strong>and</strong> exp<strong>and</strong>ed, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g the much needed upgrad<strong>in</strong>g of equipment.<br />
