The four teachers participating in the 2025 China-Tanzania “Chinese + Vocational Skills” Project are respectively from Zhengzhou Railway Vocational & Technical College, Zhengzhou Vocational College of Information Technology, and Henan College of Surveying and Mapping. Locally, they taught specialized courses in Civil Engineering, Mechatronics Technology, Artificial Intelligence Technology Application, and Survey and Mapping Engineering Technology (Remote Sensing Science and Technology).
After 45 days of intensive teaching, the teaching tasks of three teachers were successfully completed on September 12. The University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) and the VETA Kipawa ICT Center held a completion ceremony for this batch of trainees. At the ceremony, the teachers awarded completion certificates to outstanding trainees to recognize their academic achievements during this period. Currently, the teacher from Henan College of Surveying and Mapping continues to perform his duty in the form of online teaching, further imparting practical technologies such as those related to the Surveying and Mapping Engineering Technology major.
From their arrival in Tanzania to the completion of their teaching tasks, the participating teachers remained fully focused on their teaching responsibilities, imparting professional knowledge and skills to the trainees without reservation. What they brought was not only specific vocational skills, but also a bridge for vocational education exchanges between China and Tanzania built through teaching. While mastering practical technologies, the trainees also experienced the rigor and pragmatism of China’s vocational education.
The advancement of this China-Tanzania “Chinese + Vocational Skills” Project holds significance far beyond a regular training initiative. It not only provides Tanzanian youth with opportunities to learn practical skills and helps enhance their employability but also supplies much-needed skilled talents to Chinese-funded enterprises in Tanzania.
It establishes an effective link between addressing local employment issues and meeting enterprise needs, further deepens practical cooperation between China and Tanzania in the field of vocational education, and serves as a vivid practice of educational connectivity under the Belt and Road Initiative.
Head of Transportation Engineering, University of Dar es Salaam, Dr. Pancras Mugishagwe Bujulu states: we hope that China’s vocational education experience will continue to accurately align with Tanzania’s development needs, empower local youth through skill transfer, and solidify the foundation of friendship between the two countries through win-win cooperation. It is believed that this connection, with skills as the bond, will continue to play a role and inject long-term impetus into the cooperation and development of the two countries.
