·        20 vyasimamishiwa programu zisizosajiliwa na baraza hilo

·        2 vyasimamishwa kwa kutokuwa na usajili

            

Baraza la Taifa la Elimu ya Ufundi (NACTE) limevifungia vyuo vya ufundi 26 kutokana na makosa mbalimbali, ikiwamo kushindwa kuzingatia masharti yaliyowekwa na kutoa mafunzo ambayo hayajathibitishwa.

    Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari Dar es Salaam, Kaimu Katibu mtendaji wa NACTE,    Dkt.Adolf Rutayuga, alisema kuwa wamekuwa wakifuatilia vyuo vya ufundi ili kutathmini kama vinafuata viwango vya ubora wa kitaaluma vilivyowekwa na NACTE katika kutoa mafunzo. 

“Kama ilivyoelezwa katika sheria za Usajili na Kanuni za leseni, kutozingatia  matakwa yoyoye yaliyowekwa na NACTE ni kosa kisheria. Kanuni zinasema kuwa hatua kali zinawezakuchukuliwa kwa kila kosa. Kulingana na matokeo  ya ufuatiliaji uliofanywa na timu maalumu, Baraza lina uwezo wa kuchukua hatua dhidi ya taasisi au vyuo vinavyoshindwa kutekeleza kanuni zilizowekwa,” alisema.

Alisema kuwa baada ya kufanya utafiti wao, wamebaini vyuo 26 vilishindwa kuzingatia masharti yaliyowekwa na NACTE katika cheti cha usajili, huku vyuo 20 vikitoa mafunzo ambayo hayajathibitishwa chini ya idara isiyotambulika,wakati vyuo viwili vikiwa na vituo vya satellite/Kampasi ambavyo navyo havijathibitishwa na chombo husika.

“Baraza linaufahamisha umma kwamba limechukua hatua mbalimbali kwa vyuo vya ufundi 48 kutokana na makosa mbalimbali, yaliyofanywa na vyuo hivyo ambapo limesitisha vyeti vilivyotolewa kwa vyuo 20 ambavyo vimeshindwa kuzingatia masharti yaliyowekwa kwenye Cheti cha Usajili.

“Uamuzi huu umefanywa kwa mujibu wa Kanuni ya 20 ya Usajili wa Vyuo vya Ufundi ya mwaka 2001,” alisema.

Rutayuga alisema kwamba vyuo vilivyofutiwa usajili kutokana na kosa la kutoa mafunzo ambayo hayajathibitishwa chini ya idara isiyotambulika ni 26.“Vyuo vya ufundi vinatakiwa kupata kwa idhini ya Baraza kabla ya kuanza kutoa mafunzo yoyote. Idhini hiyo inahusu uthibitisho wa mtaala kwa ajili mafunzo yaliyokusudiwa na utambuzi wa idara iliyopangwa kutoa mafunzo hayo,” alisema. 

Juu ya vyuo vyenye vituo vya setelite, kampasi, Dkt.Adolf Rutayuga alisema kuwa Baraza linahitaji mafunzo kutolewa katika vituo vilivyosajiliwa/kampasi za vyuo vikuu baada ya kuthibitishwa kwamba vinastahili kutoa mafunzo. 

“Hata hivyo, taasisi mbili zimebainika kutoa mafunzo katika vituo vya satellite/vyuo vikuu ambavyo havijasajiliwa na Baraza na hivyo kuadhibiwa. Vyuo hivyo navyo vimefutiwa leseni,” alisema Rutayuga.

NACTE ni bodi iliyoanzishwa kisheria chini ya Sheria ya Baraza la Taifa la Elimu ya Ufundi, kifungu cha 129, kusimamia na kuratibu utoaji wa elimu ya ufundi na mafunzo nchini Tanzania.  Chini ya sheria hiyo, ili kufikia na kudumisha hali ya mtoa mafunzo, vyuo vyote vinatakiwa viwe vimesajiliwa, vibali na kuwa mitaala iliyopitishwa na baraza. Vyuo haviruhusiwi kuanza kutoa kuanza kutoa huduma yoyote ya mafunzo bila idhini ya baraza.
