Abstract
FOREWORD
Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is one of the most practical
avenues for acquiring readily employable skills for the world of work. Tanzania needs
skilled workers who are competent enough to fulfil various professional tasks that will
results in positive outcome in terms of productivity.
The macro-level plans, policies and strategies including the Tanzania development
vision 2025, Education and Training Policy of 2014 (R.E, 2023), Tanzania Five Year
Development Plan (FYDP) 2021/22- 2025/26, Educational Sector Development Plan
(ESDP) - (2016/17-2020/21) and various sector specific policies and strategies has
given TVET a prominent role of enabling the transition from Secondary Education to
the world of work for young trainees/students (social objective) and supply the labour
market with competent apprentices (economic objective).
At the heart of TVET system are the managers and teachers who face considerable
challenges to deliver quality programmes. Most of those who train as TVET teachers
have limited pedagogical skills to teach students, compromising the quality of TVET
provided. The deficiency should be addressed by upgrading skills of teachers and
updating programmes to meet the demand of emerging or changing trades and
technologies for increasing employability of TVET graduates. Several efforts to mitigate
unskilled technical and vocational teachers have been undertaken, including sporadic
face to face CBET training offered by NACTVET on request by institutions.
The current Registration Standard for TVET Teachers benchmarks qualities that TVET
teachers must possess to enable them to deliver CBET competently while integrating
gender and disability in facilitating students’ learning. It has been decided to address
these challenges through the development of ODeL Training Programme for TVET –
Teachers in Tanzania. This guideline supports the implementation of the programme by
putting in place structures, mechanism, and procedures with defined roles of each
institution and actors during implementation. It establishes a quality assurance
mechanism and sets standards to which implementers will be required to abide.
ii
NACTVET with a legal framework established by the Act (Cap. 129 RE 2023) is
empowered to coordinate provision of technical and vocational education and training
and to establish an efficient national qualifications system that will ensure that products
from technical and vocational institutions are of high quality and respond to changing
needs as well as technological innovations in the world of work will have a role of
ensuring that all TVET institutions are strictly adhere to these guidelines. It is my belief
that this document will be instrumental and useful in implementing ODeL Training
Programme for TVET – Teachers in Tanzania, hence attain the intended objectives of
skilled TVET teachers.
