BUKOBA, April 28 -- TANZANIA must overhaul its education model to prioritise practical, market-relevant skills if it is to tackle persistent socio-economic challenges, presiding Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania (ELCT), Dr Alex Malasusa has said.

Speaking at a Form Six graduation ceremony for Kaizirege and Kemebos schools near Bukoba Municipality, Dr Malasusa urged a shift away from an academic system that produces job seekers toward one that nurtures creativity, innovation and self-reliance.

“Graduates must not detach themselves from the communities that raised them,” he said.

“They have a responsibility to use their knowledge and skills to bring about meaningful change and development.”
