Tanzania
Tanzania's higher education system is facing challenges as student preferences for certain degree programs often in fields like business, social sciences, and humanities are misaligned with the country’s development priorities, which emphasize science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This imbalance highlights gaps in policy planning, career guidance, and the responsiveness of universities to labor market needs. Experts warn that without targeted reforms, the country may struggle to produce the skilled workforce needed to achieve its economic and social development goals.
