Dar es Salaam. University graduates in education will be required to complete a one-year professional internship to gain practical experience after graduation before being issued teaching licences.
Education Commissioner in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Dr Lyabwene Mtahabwa, confirmed the arrangement, saying it is part of the implementation of the country’s improved new curriculum.
Following up on the implementation of the system on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, The Citizen’s sister newspaper, Mwananchi, spoke with Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) executive secretary, Prof Charles Kihampa, who said the arrangement will not replace practical teaching practice currently undertaken by students while at university.
